getting rid of extra page

[joek]

Amidst the gobs of spam, I have a question. I have a stationery
template that we use at our school. The letter I'm putting into this
document is more than one page. I don't want the header/footer (where
we have the school logo and contact information respectively) on the
second page. The only way I found to et rid of it is to choose that I
want different headers/footers on odd and even pages. This is ok, but
the letter content is only two pages yet Word chooses to have a 3rd
page with the header/footer showing again and nothing there. How can
I get rid of this extra page?

Thanks

Joe, are you sure that there aren't any extra carriage returns at
the end of the document? Click the paragraph mark on the toolbar
to view invisible characters and look for extras.

There has been a 1st page header/footer option in MS Word for some
time. In Word 2004, it can be declared from the header/footer
toolbar (the icon is to the immediate left of the odd/even icon).

nope - no extra characters on that page. I can position the cursor at
the top of the third page by clicking in the middle of the page. Then
when I touch the delete key once, the cursor removes the last
character of text on the previous page. The 3rd page is still there
blank.

Actually what I ended up doing is creating a pdf and then used Preview
on the Mac to delete that extra last page. I've had this extra page
thing happen in Word before, so I guess it's just one of anomalies of
Word.
Thanks

Interesting - I never used that because when I created a document with
a template we have and then used that I'd always lose the stationery
from the first page, so I never used it - I did try to then copy the
heading elements from another document and it seems to have worked.
However that third page thing is still there. As you will note above,
creating a PDF and then deleting the third page does work for me, if a
bit cumbersome.

Thanks
