Default how to remove blank last page

sorry, I have found the Table properties, it was around.
I changed the Text wrapping to none.
After changing, the section break went down underneath the table. Before
changing: The section break was showed on the top of the table (landscape).

The unwanted blank page remains - portrait and the beginning of the 1st row
with a ¶ sign.

Also in the Table properties dialog, make sure that the Text wrapping is set
to None.

If you click on the Show/Hide button (¶), what do you see after the table?

There was a section break before the table.
Let me put all the pieces together :

first 5 pages = portrait
section break
page 6 = landscape, it's the table but there's still some line spacing on
the page
actually page 6 is the last page of the document
but then page 7 = blank page which was created automatically and that I
couldn't remove it

As in your (Suzanne) page, there would be a paragraph after the table,
there's no paragraph on page 6, it's on page 7 (portrait), so I've changed
into 1 point, it's a blank page (pg.7).
I can't see a para. after the table on the same page (pg. 6), I pressed
the
"backspace" from page 7, then the cursor went back on the top of the table
in
pg.6 and I don't see a section break after the table.

I am completely lost now....
Please help.

thanks
Karen

Hi Suzanne,

I have the same problem as this threat and did try to resolve as you
wrote
in the link listed below but no success after having tried for
almost
an
hour
!

I have the table in my last page and I did change the font of the
last
para.
into 1 point, as a matter of fact, after the table, I still have a
couple
of
rows (space) on the page too.

Here's my file is:
6 pages, first 5 pages are portrait, 6th page is landscape with the
table.
There are header and footer for the file.

Would that be something to do with the section ?

Please help ? I know it may be simple but I just couldn't get
there....
thanks
Karen

Default how to remove blank last page

If the orientation of the unwanted last page is portrait, then there *must*
be a section break between it and the landscape page. Switching to
Normal/Draft view should make it possible for you to see and delete this
break, but before you do that, change the orientation of the last section to
landscape; otherwise the table section will become portrait and will have to
be changed.

The orientation of the unwanted last page = portrait.

I can find "Text Wrap" in the Table properties dialog ???

I did click on the Show/Hide button (¶), there is nothing shown after the
table (i.e. page 6).

Yet the unwanted last page, the 1st sign (1st row) is with this ¶

thanks

"Hidden" is a text attribute available in the Font dialog box.
Alternatively, you can apply it by pressing Ctrl+Shift+H.

Note that you can format the section break as hidden (or 1 pt). Of course,
if it isn't needed (I haven't been reading the whole thread), it would be

Since the landscape section is the last content page in the document, a
section break following it is NOT required.

Hi Suzanne,

I have the same problem as this threat and did try to resolve
as you
wrote
in the link listed below but no success after having tried for
almost
an
hour
!

I have the table in my last page and I did change the font of
the
last
para.
into 1 point, as a matter of fact, after the table, I still
have a
couple
of
rows (space) on the page too.

Here's my file is:
6 pages, first 5 pages are portrait, 6th page is landscape with
the
table.
There are header and footer for the file.

Would that be something to do with the section ?

Please help ? I know it may be simple but I just couldn't get
there....
thanks
Karen

Default how to remove blank last page

True. (As I wrote, I didn't read through the entire thread.)

Since the landscape section is the last content page in the document, a
section break following it is NOT required.

Note that you can format the section break as hidden (or 1 pt). Of
course, if it isn't needed (I haven't been reading the whole thread), it
would be easier to just delete it.

news There was a section break before the table.
Let me put all the pieces together :

first 5 pages = portrait
section break
page 6 = landscape, it's the table but there's still some line
spacing on
the page
actually page 6 is the last page of the document
but then page 7 = blank page which was created automatically and
that I
couldn't remove it

As in your (Suzanne) page, there would be a paragraph after the
table,
there's no paragraph on page 6, it's on page 7 (portrait), so I've
changed
into 1 point, it's a blank page (pg.7).
I can't see a para. after the table on the same page (pg. 6), I
pressed
the
"backspace" from page 7, then the cursor went back on the top of the
table
in
pg.6 and I don't see a section break after the table.

I am completely lost now....
Please help.

thanks

That's what I would like to delete. It doesn't let me to.

Also if I delete the section break, the landscape format is gone for page,
returns to the same orientation as "portrait" as the other pages. (1st 5
pages = portrait, last page is for the table and landscape).

Default how to remove blank last page

Note that a section break stores the formatting of the previous section.
When you delete it, Word will use the formatting of the following break (or
the section formatting stored in the final paragraph mark if you are
deleting the final section break of a document). After you've deleted the
break, change the orientation back to Landscape using the Page Setup dialog
box.

See also the "If you really want to delete the temporary section break ..."
section of the article at
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...thSections.htm.
