How to delete additional pages MS automatically adds

[Guest]

When using MS Word, new pages are automatically added. How can I delete them
when I don't want them, or no text rolls over to them. Or how can I prevent
MS from adding the pages without asking in the first place?

If you turn on your non-printing characters, you will probably see that
there's "something" on those pages. They may just be carriage returns but
Word doesn't know that you don't want them. Delete those characters and that
will do the trick

I have a similar problem. Everytime I open up Word, I have a total of nine
pages present. I hit the paragraph symbol (as you said) and it shows all the
paragraphs in the nine pages (which is on every line). I can delete these,
but it doesn't solve my ultimate problem -How do I change it so I don't have
to do this everytime I open up Word?

Thanks,
