One micro soft word 2003 how do I turn off auto page breaks. Some of
the documents I work with only have one page and word creatign an un
wanted page creates problems.
 
Hi flamestar,

Whilst you can turn off auto repagination in some views (eg 'Normal'), you can't in others (eg 'Print Layout'). In any event, the
document must run its pagination process before printing. If you think the document is creating a new page prematurely, make sure
you haven't got a bunch of empty paragraphs following your last line of text and that the final paragraph isn't formatted with too
much trailing space. Other than that, check your page margins - they may be off.

Cheers

I didn't explain myself very well. The document is a two sided form
with lines on both sides. I type the text then I use the table command
to create lines. Then I insert another table to bring the lines to
the bottom of the document. As the document is two sided I use two
files one for each side. I can work around the problem but it is a
pain in the ass when word inserts a page and I don't catch it.
 
Hi flamestar,

The problem you're most likely encountering here is that you document has a paragraph mark following the table. You can't delete it
but, if you format it with no leading/trailing space, in a 1pt font and hide it, its unlikely to throw that extra page.
