Extra Return at the bottom of the page

[PFAA]

Sometimes when I have a table at the very bottom of a page, I end up with a
carriage return on the following page - thus creating an unnecessary blank
page.

I can't seem to figure out how to get rid of the the return. Is that a way
to do bring that rtn back to the first page?

Thanks,
PFAA

Thank you. Changing the font of the paragraph marker to "1" worked.

It usually does. I'm always torn. Changing it to 1 guarantees that I will
not know that it is there (though at the end of a document I will know it
must be); formatting it as Hidden means I'll see it most of the time (and
Word will see an extra page), but at least I can find it and format it; this
is more important in the middle of a document than at the end, and usually
there are other workarounds in the middle of a document (such as "Page break
before" instead of a manual page break to avoid an empty paragraph).
