Hi Larry
Here are some reasons you might have a blank last page:
- The last paragraph mark of the document has no visible text, and
it's formatted with the "Page break before" option on the second tab
of the Format > Paragraph dialog (either directly or through a style
definition).
- There may be a bunch of empty paragraph marks at the end of the
document, and the first one on the last page has "Page break before",
or they all have "Keep with next".
- The next-to-last page ends with a table at the very bottom of the
page, forcing the final paragraph mark to the empty last page. See the
part of
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/FitCopy.htm titled "Blank
paragraph at the end of the document" for ways to deal with this.
