Default how to remove blank last page

how do you get rid of a blank last page of a doc? I've tried to bs and
delete the reviewing characters but can't. I'm about to jump off a cliff for
spending so much time on something that should be simple!

Default how to remove blank last page

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

Do you have a Section Break after the table? What is the orientation of the
unwanted blank page? If it is portrait, then for sure you do have a Section
Break after the table.

Hope this helps.

yes, but I didn't do it myself. its automatically there because the 1st 5
pages are portrait, then I have to add a section break for the 6th page for
the table.
Can I get rid of the section break ?

You need a section break before the table but not after.
