Default Deleting Unwanted Blank Page


Please see attached document.

Try as I might, I cannot delete the blank page (page 3).

Advice please.

Turn on your paragraph marks and you'll see you have a section break (next page) at the bottom of page 2, but that might be the least of your troubles.

When you remove the section break, all of the rest of the format goes awry.

Yes, thanks.

I had already tried turning on paragra[h marks and deleting section break.

Also tried Custom Margins without success.

Not sure what to do now?

IMO, you need to format your doc.

Like I said, I can delete the section break, but as soon as I do, the pages jump to four pages because the format of the entire doc is off.

Not sure why you need the section breaks as it seem a page break would work fine.

Also, in the Areas of Expertise, it seems like that should be a table instead of tabs mixed with the spacing bar the space bar. After you build the table you can hide the borders.

OK, I've re-formatted, and now no blank page.

Thanks also for the other advice.

Changing the next-page section break to a continuous section break would have worked as well. Page-level formatting is contained in the section break that follows the section.
