Deleting Empty Pages

[Guest]

I had a document whit 10 pages which where in portrait mode. I then made a
picture of something, and insert it in page 6. Then I made page 6 a landscape
page. After that, before that page and after that page 2 empty pages
appeared. I removed them. When I have word in typing mode I don't see any
empty pages. But in Printprevieuw there is one before the former page 6.
Being there it messes up the page numbering.

Thanks forthe help!

Using the ¶ button on the toolbar, turn on the display of nonprinting
characters. Examine the area near the "empty" page in both Normal view
and Print Layout view. Look for paragraph marks (¶), spaces, tabs, and
other things that are normally invisible, and remove them. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm.

Look at the section break at the start of page 6 -- if it says
"Section Break (Odd Page)", then put the cursor just after the break,
go to File > Page Setup, click the Layout tab, and change Section
Start to "New page".

With the cursor in the first paragraph on the landscape page, go to
Format > Paragraph and click the Line and Page Breaks tab. Make sure
the Page Break Before box isn't checked.
