extra blank page

[B.W.]

I am using Word 2002 on Windows XP.

Someone creates and sends me one page in Word but it has an additional blank
page following the initial page. Can I remove this? Why does it happen? I
tried inserting a page break but it's still there.

TIA

There are several possible causes. See

Thank you for that info. I see now that there is a header and footer set up
which seems to be rolling on to this blank page 2. How can I delete it
completely from the document. In the help it suggests ways of partially
removing it I want to take it off completely.

Thanks

If there is no content on the page (no empty paragraph marks, no Next
Page section break, etc.) then there will not be a page -- and hence
no header or footer. If you still see a "blank" page with only a
header or footer, then there _must_ be something there to cause it,
and that something will _not_ be the header or footer. Have you gone
through all the possibilities listed in the article I pointed to?

I have found some more inserted empty paragraphs and after deleting them I
now have one page showing no headers or footers.

I have kept your link to that page for future reference.

Many thanks
