<h3>I have a blank page in my word processing document. All of my content seems to fit on the previous page. How do I get rid of this extra page?</h3>
<P><!-- ^^^ -->Select View -&gt; Nonprinting Characters from the pull
down menus (so that the choice is checked). This will allow you to
see the special control character that is pushing the page over to
another sheet. Locate that character and delete it (after making a
backup of your file). Be sure to turn these options off before
printing. (If left 'on' you will be prompted for whether you want to
print them or not). In <B>rare</B> cases, playing around with the
Insert -&gt; Manual Break feature using a change of page style can
cause 'ghost' pages. These are pages that have no apparent content,
no hidden characters, and cannot hold a text cursor. In the case
tested, these 'ghost' pages were removed by the following procedure: 
</P>
<UL>
	<LI><P>From the pulldown menus, select
	View -&gt; Online Layout 
	</P>
	<LI><P>Scroll through your document. The
	'ghost' pages should not appear. 
	</P>
	<LI><P>Select View -&gt; Online Layout again (this deselects the
	choice). The 'ghost' pages should not return. 
	</P>
</UL>
