No problem. Figured that one out years ago in a fit of frustration with a
difficult layout! Another trick I love is shoving stuff around with periods
and making them the same color as the background so they don't show up.
However, this doesn't work on printouts. But great for faking the layout
until you REALLY figure out how to make it look the way you need!

If my former boss knew all the tricks I pulled to make my work look
good!<hee, hee>

Thanks Dian

I hadn't thought of that.

Like all solutions, easy when you've got the knowledge to work it out.

Ta again

Select that last para marker and set the font to 1pt. It'll be so small, it
won't roll to the next page. Note, it's best to set a 1pt style and apply
that to it. I have this "bogus" style in my normal template and use it all
the time to hide needed markers. With the style, you can easily change it to
15pts to see where the buggers are located or to search them out if you need
to, then you can change them back to make them all but disappear again with
the 1pt.

Subject: [mso] Paragraph Mark on New Page

If I create a table on a 1 page document which is to be Mail Merged, but
want the table to fill the page, I end up with a single paragraph mark on
page 2. As it is a single Para marker, I cannot delete it. This is easily
enough suppressed in normal use, by just printing page 1, but is a pain in
the butt on a Mail Merge, where it inserts a blank page between each valid
page.

Anybody got any suggestions/solutions.
