I have read all previous posts and tried everything, but can't get rid of
this #$% blank page at the end of my document. There IS a small table on the
previous page, but then there are a couple normal text paragraphs after it.

Help before I pull my hair out!!!!

Turn on your non-printing characters, there's "something" on it. You just
can't see it.

I did that and there is a paragraph marker on the blank page, but it cannot
be removed. I also tried making the paragraph marker smaller in the text
size box, still no luck. I finally copied the entire document and pasted it
on a blank word document, and it went away, but I never really did figure out
how to fix the original document.

Thanks, all, for your help.

PS - Suzanne, I read the document you referenced. It's written really well!!

If there's just _one_ paragraph mark leaking over onto the blank page,
then delete the paragraph mark at the end of the last paragraph on the
last actual page. (You might then have to reapply to that paragraph
the Style you want it to be in.)

I agree about Suzanne's style.

I'm glad you admired the article even if it ultimately wasn't helpful! If
you've got just one paragraph throwing a blank page and making it smaller
doesn't help, then making it Hidden should.

There is likely a paragraph mark after the last table cell; view it by
turning on Show Paragraphs. You can't get rid of it, but you can minimize it
in two ways: in the Paragraph menu, make sure there is no space before or
after it. In the Font menu, change the font size to 1 (one). This will make
it invisible to the eye and should get rid of the blank page containing only
this paragraph mark.
