Page Break Creates Blank Page
I'm writing a novel and have placed a page break at the end of each chapter so the next chapter will always start at the top of a new page no matter whether I add or delete text in previous chapters. This has worked like a charm for every chapter bar one. For some reason whenever I place a page break at the end of this chapter, it creates a new, blank page. The show characters button reveals that the page break line is at the top of the blank page rather than at the end of the previous chapter, where it should be.
The only reason I can think of as to why this is occurring is that the text at the end of this chapter goes right down to the very bottom of the page, which doesn't have room for the page break and is putting it on a new page. However, I would imagine that Word would make allowances for this since chapters often run all the way down to the very bottom of a page. What am I doing wrong? Many thanks.
