Can't get rid of blank page at end of Word doc.

I have looked all over the web but suggestions that have helped others with this problem will not work for me! I have a 2-page document with columns, and then a 3rd blank page that I don't want. I am displaying non-printing characters and can see an extra para (page break?) starting on the blank page, but it won't delete. I have tried forward delete and highlighting it but it just pops back again. Infuriating!
Another strange thing that might be to do with it, is that an empty header and footer show on the blank page, and say 'Header-Section4-' even though the previous is section 2 and there are only 3 pages.
Any help massively appreciated!

You should ask in the Office For Mac forums.

  • Can't get rid of blank page

    In word processing mode, Pages 08 created a blank page. I can't delete that page without deleting all of the pages in the section that contains that page. The help menu says the page should go away if I delete all of the objects on it, but that has not worked. Is there any way to delete this blank page without deleting all of the other pages in the section?

    Usually a blank page at the end of a Pages document is cause by extra paragraph returns after the last line or an image with wrap turned on "pushing" the last return to create a new page. It is easiest to see what is causing the problem by showing invisibles. For problems caused by an image, click the image to select it & then check the "extra space" setting in the wrap inspector. By default, all inserted objects have a gutter (the extra space) of 12 points, more than most users need or want.

  • Can't Get Rid of Blank Capture Window

    I have been capturing video from VHS tapes from a VCR player through a Canopus ADVC-55 analog to digital converter.  I use Windows 7.  This was working OK, but at one point Premiere Elements 9 froze during the capture and I aborted it through the Task Manager.  When I reopened PE9 a blank capture window blocking the work area appeared (see Figure).  The window cannot be closed or moved, but can be resized.
    I have made several attempts to get rid of it.
    - I started another video capture, which opened a new capture window without getting rid of this blank one.
    - Starting a new project does not get rid of the window.
    - I uninstalled and reinstalled PE9.  The blank window still opens when I start the program!
    The program is still usable by resizing the window to such a small size that I can access the controls, but I would appreciate any advice in getting rid of the stupid thing.

    Great news!
    That is the first thing that I think about, when there is some hang in the GUI.
    Next, launching PrE and IMMEDIATELY holding down Ctrl+Shift+Alt (not sure that all are required, but that works for PS and PrPro), until the program launches, and then accepting the Reset of Preferences.
    Third, would be to look at the video driver, and compare that with the very latest on the nVidia, or ATI/AMD Web site, and install the latest.
    Glad that it cleared things for you, and good luck,

  • Can't get rid of blank iCal Alarm window

    Several days ago my MacBook pro running 10.5.8 mysteriously reset its calendar to 2000. When I reset it in Preferences/Date and Time everything was fine with the exception of an ICal blank message pane/window that keeps appearing after every sleep and start-up--the beach ball twirls for about five minutes during which everything freezes or runs super slow.  I found some online conversation dating to 2009 about ways to fix this, but none of them worked for me. I tried trashing the iCal App which did not work nor did running a FixToDo dmg script someone suggested. I never use iCal and would have no problem deleting the whole program if I could.  All help gratefully received.  Thanks v much.

  • How to get rid of blank space at end of movie?

    I made a 10 minute product tutorial in iMovie HD, shared the movie using expert mode and it took an hour to create the bounce, and at the end of the movie it has a long dead space with strange artifacts there, whereas in the iMovie is all blackness past the last clip. I did not want the dead space to be there, much less the strange colors that appeared.
    I know that you can share selected clips, rather than taking another few hours to find out if that method solves the dead space problem, can someone please tell me if hitting Apple>A and selecting the entire strip of clips will export only those clips as one movie, and leave out the long dead space at the end past the last clip?
    Thanks

    Possibly solved, checking now. In the clip view there were two clips names 'black' that I was not aware was at the end, this is probably the issue.

    Leliforever, cheek you list of installed add-ons, the Ask toolbar can be installed without the users knowledge.

  • In the new tab yahoo search page is opening everytime. How can I get rid of it and just get a blank page instead?

    whenever i am opening a new tab - yahoo search page is opening up. How can I get rid of this. I want a blank page to be open up instead of yahoo search page in new tab.

    This might be a feature of the Yahoo toolbar. Can you live without it? To disable or remove the toolbar, use
    Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
    After restarting Firefox, do new tabs become blank again?

  • Can't get rid of vertical line in Pages '08

    I add a text box to a blank page and paste in or type in some text.
    There's a verticle line running the height of the paragraph (or single line) that I can't get rid of.
    Also, the text appears blue even though it's supposed to be black. When I select the text and check the color it says it's black.

    Neal Fox wrote:
    OK. Opened a new document and copies with match style. The text comes out right.
    Then I figured I could copy that and paste and match style into the original document. Nope!
    Once it's in the original it comes out blue and with the line.
    If it helps, the original is nothing but jpegs on every page. It's a child's picture book. I'm trying to put the front pages in, which are only text. I didn't copy from the internet, but typed into a text box. No pasting from another document either.
    Thanks.
    Neal,
    When you did the Copy and Paste and Match Style back into the "Original Document", that reverted the style. What you should have done when returning was a straight Paste.

  • I recently downloaded new Firefox; an option was a new top of the page skin. I don't like ; can't get rid of it. what to do?

    After downloading newest firefox an option showed up: do you want one on these new skins to top your opening page? I opted for one of them and now can't get rid of it. I prefer the old . What's there now looks like a background for several toolbars. Contrast is bad.

    You can set Firefox back to using the default theme. Open the add-ons manager (in the tools menu select Add-ons), in the add-ons manager go to the Themes panel. Click on the Default theme in the list of themes then click on the "Use Theme" button.
    For more details see using themes with Firefox.

  • When I open on Mozilla Firefox, several identical items open on bar at bottom of page, when only one is needed, and I can't get rid of them apart from closing the whole lot.

    Different tabs used to appear at the top of the page (Yahoo), which I could easily close. This has stopped. When I click on Mozilla Firefox on my desktop, about 6 little boxes appear at the bottom of my page, at least two of them being mozilla, and I can't get rid of them except by closing down the internet. If I go through Talk Talk, (a second email address) and get to Yahoo this way, this doesn't happen, but I always prefer to use Mozilla Firefox.

    hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

  • I set my home page to my school website, but everytime I open firefox it opens to a conduit search Bing website how can I get rid of that a nd lock in my home p

    I set and want my home page to be my school website, "northbranch.k12.mn.us" I have gone to option and set it as my home page. Everytime I start up the computer and start up firefox, i get a conduit search engine with Bing. How can I get rid of this permanently and have my school website come up as the stratup window?

    hello tomterrimort, if your manual changes don't 'stick' after a restart of the browser, please look out for any suspicious extensions (like 3rd-party-toolbars or things you have not installed intentionally) presently installed under '''firefox/tools > addons > extensions''' or the programs section of the windows control panel and remove those entries.
    in case this doesn't solve the issue please try this: go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder", then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named '''user.js''' (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.

  • I set up a location based reminder in notification last week to test it out.  Worked great, but now I cannot get rid of it.  It does not show up in any list on the notifications pages, but can be found in search.  How can I get rid of this notification?

    Last week I set up a location based reminder in notifications to test it out.  Worked great.  However, I can't get rid of it.  It does not show up on any of the pages, either reminders or completed.  I can search and find it, shows it should be in reminders page, but it is not there for me to remove.  Any ideas?
