Erin, feel free to send it to me and I'll delete the last page.
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Erin, have you tried Ctrl-Shift-End before the page and cutting instead of deleting? Sometimes cutting will get rid of those extra breaks when deleting won't.

Arggh. I've tried them all. No joy. But thanks for the advice, all.
Javachik, I'm sending it to you, and I really appreciate the offer. It's a rough draft, so don't judge!

Consuela, going to Spain issues aside, how do you like the Mytouch? I'm up for an upgrade in March, and we have T-Mobile with unlimited call, text and data, and I'm trying to decide which phone will be best for me.

Hi Erin, just got it, fixed it, and sent it back. Happy to help.
The resume was actually created using a table, so the margins of the table and the "narrow" margin of the resume settings were screwy. So I selected the paragraph mark after the table and formatted it with 1 pt of font size, zero spacing before/after (and as hidden text, too, if necessary). Then I pressed Ctrl+Shift+8 again to hide non-printing marks, and the blank page disappeared.

I am writing this down. I am no graphic designer, so I do use some templates for certain resumes, and I have run into formatting issues that have taken me more time to fix than the damned writing itself.
THANK YOU.

My pleasure, Erin.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
There's also the time-honored solution (which I believe is actually called a Maggie after the person who put forth the idea) of copying everything except the final paragraph mark and putting it into a new Word document.

Dana, there was formatting in this doc that wouldn't have carried over to another document.

I always leave the formatting marks on, because without them, there's no way to know what is making formatting go wrong. One thing to remember is that in Word, the paragraph mark contains the formatting instructions for the preceding paragraph.
