Can't Type in Page

Copper Contributor

Using Win7 Word on a Win7 Ultimate Asus laptop

Have a semi-large doc (160pgs). One of the pages causing problems. Can type in first ~4 lines on the page but hitting <Enter> or additional lines or characters automatically takes me to the next page where I already have photo's displayed. The result is I have 90% of a page unintentionally blank and unusable. I've tried deleting the entire page and then re-inputting a blank page but still the same issue.  If I simply try to <delete> the blank area the following page immediately jumps to the next line on the problem page. Any resolutions?

Please check if there is a "Section Break Next Page" exists over there. (Press Ctrl Shift 8 to see this non-printable option) Or the paragraph formatting may have "Page break before" option enabled. It's better if you can share the document to check. You may put some dummy content if it's sensitive information.

There are a number of things that can cause this.

See Improving the Bottom Line by Suzanne Barnhill, MVP.

She shows how different choices can give anomalous page breaks.

Success! It was apparently a problem with the first paragraph and pictures on the following page. Deleting the paragraph and readjusting the pictures along with adding a Blank Page fixed it.
Thanks for your help!
You are welcome.
