Hey everyone, I cannot get my second blank page in my document to go away,
any suggessions
 
Hi frosty,

Click on the pilcrow (ie '¶') on the formatting toolbar/home ribbon to display the formatting marks. Then do Ctrl-End to go to the
end of the document. From there, you can select everything on the last page and delete it. After that, backspacing should clear up
what's left (eg a page break on the penultimate page). Unless, that is, the last thing on the penultimate page is a Word table.
There must always be a paragraph that follows a Word table. If that's what's causing the extra page to appear, try reducing the last
paragraph's font point size to 1 and its leading space to 0.
 
Additionally, you can hit Ctrl + Shift + * to toggle those hidden
markers on/off so you can better see what's up in your document.
