Empty lines at end of schedule

[Peggy]

I made some major changes to a schedule and when I print it out, there are
three pages of empty lines at the end of the schedule. I have tried to delete
these lines but I can not get rid of them. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Peggy,
My guess is that you have a "rogue" task several lines down from what
you believe is the last task. Try sorting the file using the Unique ID
field. If there is one or more rogue lines at the end, you can more
easily see and delete them.

Hope this helps.

When I do the sort, I don't see any rogue tasks. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Peggy,
Nothing comes to mind at the moment but you could try a brute force
approach. Select all the desired tasks and copy them to a new project.
Unless there is something funny going on with your printer settings,
there must be some extraneous data in the file that should be eliminated
with a copy/paste.

Or, here's another suggestion. Try saving the file as a Project database
and then opening it up again. Maybe during all the tweaking you did to
the file, some corruption crept in and this method might just help.

You might also try the MVP webpage at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm
and look at FAQ 43 - file bloat? - might be corruption

If no one else jumps in with other suggestions and neither of the above
helps, if you can, send me the file via e-mail and I'll take a look at
it. If it contains sensitive information I can provide you a macro that
will desensitize it or you can go to Jack Dahlgren's website (Jack is
another MVP) at: http://masamiki.com/project/macros.htm
and look for his "scrub" macro. It does basically the same thing. If you
send the file, be sure to zip it.

Hope this helps.
