There are extra page breaks in my document

You might accidently inserted a manual page break. Switch to normal view, select the manual page break, and then press Delete.

Set a pagination option. The following pagination options (Keep lines together, Keep with next, or Page break before) control where automatic page breaks occur.

To remove the pagination formats from text, select the paragraph following the unwanted page break, click Paragraph on the Format menu, and then click the Line and Page Breaks tab. If necessary, clear the Keep lines together, Keep with next, and Page break before check boxes.

Inserted a section break. The Next page, Even page, or Odd page section break automatically breaks the page.

Inserted a column break. A column break inserted in the last column of a page will act as a page break. Select the column break, and then press DELETE.

I cant copy my formatting between sections

To copy section formatting (such as margin settings and newsletter-style columns), first switch to normal view.

Then, select the section break at the end of the section with the formats you want to copy.

Next, copy the section break to a new location; the text above the new section break takes on its formatting.

If you want to use the formatting of a particular section in other documents, you can store the section break as an AutoText entry and then quickly insert it when you want to duplicate the section formatting.

Select the section break, point to AutoText on the Insert menu, and then click New.
