Delete the last page after section break Solved

Question

Hello,

I am writing a procedure and my last pages are in landscape orientation, so I inserted 2 section breaks (before and after). The problem is that Word is inserting a page after my last section break when I don’t want one!!! This is messing up my pagination.

If I delete this last section break, all my page layout for landscape formats is canceled...

Help - Thank you

Configuration: Windows XP / Internet Explorer 7.0

There are two types of section breaks:

the page break section break
the continuous section break (which does not create a new page).

But anyway, if it's the last page of the document, why do you need a section break at the end??

I believe that's exactly the reason he wants to remove it.
Normally, landscape format is canceled when you delete your last section break, but if you re-enable your landscape option, the last page will reorient without affecting the previous pages.

Let us know if it's the same for you.

Yes,
it seems normal to me since by default, Word works on an A4 page. So you set up your layout with a paper size of 21*29.7.
It's true that if you then change the paper format, nothing will match anymore.

I don't know of any function that does a kind of zoom to adjust the layout to an A3 sheet when it has been made for A4. But who knows, others besides me might be able to help you.

Good luck.

Hello,

One thing to know: A section break contains all the formatting of the previous section, including, among other things, the paper size, headers, and footers, etc.

So, indeed, if you delete the section break, you lose the formatting that precedes it...
This has nothing to do with the default format.

This section break has become unnecessary, and especially annoying! :D
And unfortunately, Word being very stubborn on this matter, I doubt you can replace your current section break with a continuous section break.

If, as I think, it resists, for the total number of pages issue, you just need to subtract 1:

{={NUMPAGES} - 1}
The {} can be obtained with Ctrl+F9.
