How Do I Remove A Page Break In Word For Mac?

Remove a manual page break • Click Home > Show all nonprinting characters. This will display non-printing characters—paragraph markers, section breaks, page breaks, etc.—that you may want to see while you’re working on your document.

If you want to change the type of section break, be sure to put the cursor in the text of the section, after the section break and follow these steps. To find the next section break, click “Find Next” on the “Find and Replace” dialog box. It's probably an invisible character like a page- or section-break. Click the 'show invisibles' button (the paragraph mark) and you may see it (and be able to select it easily), then delete it.

• Click just after the paragraph mark in the page break, and then press Delete. Adjust automatic page breaks To prevent automatic page breaks from landing in awkward places, such as between lines of text you'd like to keep together, you can adjust the page break settings for selected paragraphs. • Select the paragraphs you want to apply the settings to. • On the Format menu, click Paragraph. • In the Paragraph dialog box, click the Line and Page Breaks tab. Choose one or more of the following options: • Widow/Orphan control places at least two lines of a paragraph at the top or bottom of a page. • Keep with next prevents breaks between paragraphs you want to stay together.

• Keep lines together prevents page breaks in the middle of paragraphs. • Page break before adds a page break before a specific paragraph. Remove a manual page break • On the View menu, click Draft. • In the document, select the manual page break, and then press DELETE. Adjust automatic page breaks • Select the paragraph following the unwanted page break. • On the Format menu, click Paragraph, and then click the Line and Page Breaks tab.

• Clear the Keep lines together, Keep with next, and Page break before check boxes. Remove Next Page, Even Page, or Odd Page section breaks • Click in the section immediately following the section break. • On the Format menu, click Document, and then click the Layout tab. • In the Section start pop-up menu, click Continuous.

Hello everyone, Working closely with Word for almost a year as an editor, I've gotten used to the fact that it likes to pull pranks on you. And sometimes you have to conduct some crazy manipulations to do some simple things. I wonder if deleting a page after a Section Break Next Page is an example of that. I know that the page that follows is the result of the type of the Section Break, which in this case is 'Next Page', so Word automatically adds a new page after it. I have to delete the Section Break Next Page first, but it controls to many formatting elements (the page has a different header and footer and page orientation), so deleting it results in losing all that formatting. Is it possible to delete the page after Section Break Next Page painlessly?

I attached an example file just in case. (I use Word 2007) Thank you very much for your help. Thanks for your reply, Ulodesk. But it only solves half of the problem.

As I mentioned (and as you can see in my example file attached), the page that needs to be deleted has a different header and footer. When you delete Section Break Next Page on the previous page, it 'inherits' the footer and header of the deleted page. So before deleting the page I do not need, I have to change its orientation, then make sure my headers and footers are the same on both pages, and what if I also have a multiple column layout on the previous page, I have to set up the same layout on the to-be-deleted page as well. Because I know that all this formatting will be gone once I remove the Section Break. Don't you think it's just too much hustle for a page that's going to be deleted anyway?

Regards, Aston.
