Annoying extra line, when insertein a .doc into ActiveDocument

[Ebbe]

Hey!

In a macro, that types in text controlled by a ASCII text file,
there is a possibility to change headers/footers by inserting a
new .doc file after making a break-new-page.

I have discovered that Word automatically add a blank line
in the top of the inserted document. This have the effect that
I am going on typing in text starting at line 2 instead of line 1.

I have made a work-around by issuing a backspace to delete
this extra line before beginning typing in.

Can anyone tell me why this extra line is inserted?

Can anyone tell me who to avoid this extra line?

My code with the work around:
-----------------------------------------------------
Private Sub ShowTheProblem
Selsction.TypeText "Last line on a page"
Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdSectionBreakNextPage
Selection.InsertFile FileName:=NewBaseDoc(NewBaseDocNo), _
Range:="", ConfirmConversions:=False, Link:=False, _
Attachment:=False
Selection.TypeBackspace '**** Work around ****

Selsction.TypeText "First line on next page"
End Sub

You'll probably see a section break with a spare anchor para on it.

Dear Steve
You are right! I have a anchor! But it is not a spare anchor.
The document I am inserting is buind with a header with some some text and a
grafic element (a water mark), thar is anchored up to/in the header.
I have no anchor in the text body.

I can post an examble if neeted (30KB)

G'day Ebbe,

When you insert the break it moves the para mark to the next page -
then you go to insert a file, which starts its own new para.

You can't insert a file "inline" so to speak. This is why your para at
the break end isnt moving on past the inserted file, and why a simple
backspace fixes it.
