Hi Lori,
I've had this problem a couple of times since I installed Word 2010. I really don't know why it happens; I wish I did. I have been able to delete the soft page breaks sometimes. On one book, I had to take two pages (one before and one after the offending soft page breaks) out of my book file, copy them into a new file, clean them up by deleting the offenders, and then put the two pages back in my original book file. I figure that there must be an easier way. Hopefully someone here knows what it is. Meantime, I wanted you to know that you're not alone!

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Problem with soft page breaks

I am proofreading with Windows 7 and Word Office 2010 and am encountering a
problem which I have not had before.

When I get to the bottom of a page, and sometimes at the top I have needed
to add a return before the first line of text or before or after a page
number at the bottom of the page.
On many pages, when I add a return I get a soft page break. I have changed
the page length to 22 inches, all side and top and bottom margins are set at
one inch. Also, I have checked to be sure that the white space above and
below each paragraph is set at zero.
Is there any other way to remove white space?
I know that soft page breaks are not a problem for the translator, but they
are a problem for me, simply because I find them confusing.
Does anyone have any idea why this problem is occurring and even more
important has to solve it?
Thanks.

Lori C.
