If it is *completely* empty and you can't see it in Print Preview, it may be
the blank page Word inserts as needed when you use an odd or even section
start. If it has a header/footer/page number and can be seen in Print
Preview, then it isn't really empty. Display nonprinting characters (Ctrl+*)
and delete the empty paragraphs, spaces, page break or whatever it is that
is causing the "blank" page.

Hello, I am experiencing a similar problem with Word 2002.
I have a document that contains pages that start in
portrait, change to landscape and then go back to
portrait. The landscaped pages were copied and pasted from
another Word document. When I view the document at the
point where it changes from landscape to portrait it looks
ok but the page number changes from 14 to 16 there appears
to be no page 15. When I print preview it shows the blank
page 15 which contains the page number 15 but not the
headers and footers that appear on every other page. When
I print the document page 15 prints as a blank except for
the page number. I have read article 291184 which
describes the problem but doesn't (obviously) offer a
solution. Are there any suggestion as to why this should
happen. Thanks in advance Alan

Your page 15 is not empty. Display nonprinting characters (Ctrl+*), and you
will see that it contains *something.* Possibly this is just an empty
paragraph; possible it is a page break (left over from before you inserted
section breaks around the landscape page). Whatever it is you'll have to get
rid of it. Even when you do, you may still find that Word will "print" a
totally blank page on the back of your landscape page.
To understand what's going on in that situation you have to understand that
Word works very closely with the printer driver. Most printers find it
harder to print landscape than portrait to begin with and apparently very
trying to print landscape on the back of portrait, so Word obliges their
laziness by converting your Next Page section break to an Odd Page break.
This causes Word to insert the blank even page or pages (the back of an odd
landscape page and sometimes the preceding page as well). You can sometimes
enforce your will on Word by going to the Layout tab of Page Setup (with the
insertion point in the section that is preceded by a blank page) and
changing the section start from "Odd page" to "New page."

I have the same problem, when the page ends with a table. I
have tried deleting non-printing characters, but it (e.g.,
the paragraph symbol) won't delete. Any way to get around
this? Thanks!

Sher,
Your document has to have that final paragraph mark after the table. It is
the binding force that holds your complete document together. If this last
paragraph mark is forcing a blank last page try reducing the font size of
the paragraph mark to 1pt.

And if reducing it to 1 pt doesn't do the trick, format it as Hidden.
