It provides far greater & more manageable control over the flow of the document. Quite honestly, all empty ¶s should be removed, then create the required spacing between paragraphs by formatting the paragraphs containing text with theįormat> Paragraph> Space Before/After attribute.If you delete one of the empty ¶s, that alone should do it. One of the most common contributors to this type of issue is that empty ¶s have been used to create vertical space - a technique which is best avoided for several reasons, this being just one.Once that happens the blank page will evaporate. Apparently there is not enough space for it at the bottom of the preceding page so it is being forced to the beginning of a new page.Īs I said, though, the empty ¶ cannot be removed but there are a number of adjustments you can make to draw it back onto the previous page. The program automatically generates it & it cannot be deleted. It's there purposely because a Table in a Word document must be followedīy one.
What's causing the problem is that there is an empty paragraph at the top of that page, but it isn't in the Header. it just wouldn't have a Header or Footer :-) That black square indicates that a paragraph setting (not a table setting) applies to the row(s).It isn't the Header that's the problem - even though they can be removed the blank page would still be there. One way to check if there’s a paragraph setting that’s controlling the table row(s) is to have your formatting marks turned on and look for a little black square at the far left of a table’s row(s). If either of these check boxes is shaded, it means some of the rows are set to ‘Keep with next’ and/or ‘Keep lines together’ so click the check boxes until they are clear. If so, that means that table is set to stay with the following paragraph. Go to the Line and Page Breaks tab and see if Keep with next and/or Keep lines together are checked. Paragraph setting for forcing one or more rows to remain with the following row or paragraph: Select the entire table, go to the Home tab, and click the tiny little arrow icon in the bottom right corner of the Paragraph group to open the Paragraph dialog box.If so, that’s what’s forcing the row to the next page. Go to the Line and Page Breaks tab and see if Page break before is checked. Paragraph setting for forcing the header row onto a new page: Select the first table row that’s on the new page, go to the Home tab, and click the tiny little arrow icon in the bottom right corner of the Paragraph group to open the Paragraph dialog box.If you do delete a section break, check that nothing else was changed on the pages on front of the table AND after it (check the page orientation and headers/footers) if it all goes pear-shaped, immediately undo the deletion of the section break. ‘Section break (Next page)’ inserted in front of the table: BEWARE! Deleting section breaks can mess up page orientation and/or headers/footer.Hard page break or empty lines (paragraphs) inserted in front of the table: Delete the page break and/or empty paragraphs and see if the table moves back.Now, what about tables starting on a new page when they probably shouldn’t? Again, there are several reasons for this occurring: Paragraph setting for forcing a row onto a new page: Select the first table row that’s on the new page, go to the Home tab, and click the tiny little arrow icon in the bottom right corner of the Paragraph group to open the Paragraph dialog box.If so, that means that the row you selected is set to stay with the following paragraph, whether that’s another row or a normal paragraph. Paragraph setting for forcing a row to remain with the following row or paragraph: Select the first table row that’s on the new page, go to the Home tab, and click the tiny little arrow icon in the bottom right corner of the Paragraph group (see image below) to open the Paragraph dialog box.
If it’s not, a row with a lot of information will start on a new page instead of splitting across the page break. Go to the Row tab, and see if Allow row to break across pages is checked or not.
There are three main reasons for a table row to start on a new page: There are several possible reasons a table or table row might do this, and several ways to get the table or row back to where you want it.

Sometimes a table or a table row can shift to a new page and you don’t know why or how to get it back. Based on a writing tip I wrote for my work colleagues.
