MS Word - Text jumps to next page

lawofficesoluti... [e-mail]
This tutorial discusses what causes text to jump to the next page when there is no page break. Sometimes you'll see little black squares in MS Word because pagination formatting of keep with next, keep lines together, or page break before are turned on. We show you how to turn that off and how it might get turned on accidentally.
While less common than the keep with next formatting, there are a few other settings that can also cause text to jump to the next page and we discuss those after covering the most common cause.
Law Office Solution provides software training, webinars, and Kwik Docs legal macros and templates for law firms. We specialize in helping legal professionals get the most benefit from MS Word for the least amount of effort.
We make legal formatting in MS Word easy to do for lawyers, legal secretaries, and paralegals. Through Kwik Docs, our legal macro package, we customize Word for common legal documents like letter, memo, fax, pleading, proof of service, verification, acknowledgment, etc. As well as help with complex outline numbering used in transactional and litigation documents.
Kwik Docs - there's a button for that!

Oh my goodness I was so close to throwing my computer across the room, you saved me around 4 min mark thank you!!!!

[@noleenswork2362]

I am an academic and research supervisor. I spend my life reading and editing often poorly presented documents which have been through the mangle a few times before I finally have to rescue them. These blank spaces which do not show in show-hide because someone fell asleep on the enter key have been my perennial nightmare. Thank you Laura! Really appreciated.

Yep. 2 mins in and you've saved me HOURS of frustration!!! Thanks a lot!

[@ianbenjiman]

I think what you all came for was 6:55
I did, and it was very helpful. Don't know how many times I've run into this issue and it's just a simple fix.
Thank you Laura, liked and favorited.

[@rolandwagner1209]

2 minutes into the video and my formatting issues are resolved that you so much!

[@moniquemontague9609]

I worked on this problem for 2 days...and then I came to your video...within minutes my document was fixed! Thank you!!!

[@kareemmargaretabiade990]

I have been searching for some time now on how to correct the page break on my CV. Watching this now, I was able to fix it. now I can go ahead with my applications.! You need to see the way I screamed when I was able to get this fixed right now! I clicked on the 'subscribe' button straight away.
Thank you so much

[@arnarfreyrkristinsson8650]

Thank you! I was dealing with this for around half an hour at least before I watched the video! Solved in 4 minutes.

[@mpwheatley]

Laura, I love you. You have taught me how to fix a problem which has been driving me crazy for years. Thank you!

[@7890uiopjkl]

You just made my writing time much more easy and enjoyable. Been dealing with this problem for a while and not finding the right answers to it. Thank you, thank you!

[@argenisbonilla514]

You helped me to finish editing a work I had to finish today. Thank you so much!!!!

[@fartwrangler]

Insanely more complicated than it needs to be. The problem with MS-WORD is that, once again, Microsoft thinks they know what you want better than YOU know what you want.
I have wasted HOURS trying to turn OFF MS defaults that never should have been defaults in the first place. Nothing more frustrating that working on a document for hours -- with a looming deadline -- and all of a sudden WORD decides you need to be in "outline" mode, or that your text box a the bottom of the page suddenly needs to be anchored to something (you don't know WHAT) in the middle of the next page.
I finally went back to Corel WordPerfect. WordPerfect starts with everything turned OFF, and then YOU choose what you want turned on by default.

[@jehangir8utube]

Thank you so much i have wasted lot of time on text jumping to the next page but you made my day

[@Shogoeu]

Solved my problem - this needs to rank higher on search engines instead of some useless videos that show how to "press delete" and shift select.

[@TownsendTek]

Glad it helped! Do you remember what key words you were searching for when trying to solve your problem? It might help if I add them to the description, I know this is a really common issue but don't know what words people would use to search for an answer.

[@Ronyn76]

Thankyou! This saved me a lot of grief.

[@gwenneylon1058]

Thank you so much! Your first suggestion worked a treat. I thought I was a bit of a dab hand at Word, but this just goes to show that even a dinosaur can learn new tricks. Really appreciate it.

[@lucyfrances5862]

Thank you!!! Saved me so much time and stress!

[@ke722nzo8]

How do you get the pages back under each other (like the begin)in stead of next to each other(like the end)

[@lauratownsend6850]

Ke722nzo click The view tab, then click “one page”. That will keep them from going side-by-side. You can listen in and out by holding down the control key on the keyboard while you were on the wheel on top of the mouse back-and-forth.

[@Amanabouba]

THANK YOU THAT WAS REALLY HELPFUL

[@Fhazelj]

Just spent 3 hours trying to fix my 'white space' problem and now flirting with missing my deadline. You saved my life (my problem was that the f*7^#k who created the document had the 'centre' option selected on the Layout Tab instead of 'Top'. Thank you - may you be blessed with many children.

[@TownsendTek]

So glad you had the patience to watch to that point. That issue is REALLY rare. In fact, I think I only remembered it because I was so emotionally scarred from figuring it out the couple times it happened. I mean... WHY would vertical text alignment be changed? (Answer - maybe for a title page where you want the text centered top to bottom, but if someone knows enough to do that, you'd think they'd also know to keep it in its own section.)

[@HeadsinPaperBags]

[@captainaryan26]

Is Ms word good for writing a novel ?
I mean, it's just so difficult even though I'm seventeen. Like indentation, header footage on odd even pages, etc. can't get them right without spending hours on TH-cam. And this tutorial didn't work because all the things are unchecked.
