Phantom page when using SECTION formatting

[Confused as Usual]

A friend asked me about this, and I can't figure it out.
She's on Win2000 with Word 6, has to use Government formatting standards (which is really a pain as they don't allow an extra line
on a page...they'd prefer you waste an entire sheet for the one last word in a document).

Anyway, she had section breaks, and after a page that said "This page intentionally left blank" (another bit of government
wastefulness), there was a "phantom" blank page. It only shows up in Page View. And you can't grab it, view it or delete it.
There's a circle with a line through it when you hover over it. "Show Formatting" in the main document window does not show any
stray commands, spaces or lines that could have caused this.

It happened on Page 14. If that makes a difference.

Has anyone encountered this before? How did you fix it. CAN it be fixed?
I couldn't duplicate the error in XP Pro with her file (no, not allowed to send a government file to the group, wish I could)...
Is it a 2000 glitch?

Thank you for your help

Just so you know--the problem is not new in Word 2000, nor
does it seem to go away in 2002. Also true for other
formatting bugs, as I found both through my own experience
on several machines. Some other formatting bugs have been
there since Word 6.0, 97, 2000, etc. In the knowledge
base, they're each documented standalone, rather than as
one ongoing format problem.
