How to cope with just 128GB of SSD storage on your Mac mini or MacBook. By William Gallagher Monday, July 15, 2019, 08:46 am PT (11:46 am ET) Only Apple recommends buying its Macs with 128GB of. This article describes how to troubleshoot page breaks that occur in a Word document at unexpected or unwanted locations. Select the paragraph immediately before or after the unwanted page break. On the Format menu, click Paragraph. Click the Indents and Spacing tab, and then check to see whether.

I have to start each new section of my document on the top of the page. Then I have to remove any section breaks that create large gaps of white space. If I remove the breaks, it changes the formatting of the category heading. How do I reapply the Heading 2 style?

ANSWER: There are two ways to insert page breaks in Microsoft Word: manually insert a page break, or modify a style to start on a new page. I’ll show you how to insert a manual page break, then show you how to delete the white space without breaking your layout.

Inserting page breaks

Follow these steps to insert the page breaks:

  1. Open your document, then insert the cursor at the end of the line before the section you want to start on a new page.
  2. In the ribbon on the Insert tab, find the Page group.
  3. Click Page Break.
  4. Repeat this process for each section.

Once you are finished, you may need to do some additional clean up on your document.

Removing white space

As you can see in this sample document, there is a big chunk of white space that needs to be removed after creating the new page. This is most likely caused by improper use of carriage returns, tabs, and spaces to format the document.

You need to delete the breaks that are causing layout problems. The only way to delete the breaks without accidentally changing your formatting is to be able to see what you’re doing.

Press Ctrl + * (Ctrl + Shift + 8). This activates the Show All toggle.

Now we see why the second section is located too far down the page! There are three extra line breaks, a section break, over two lines of tabs, and a bunch of spaces that were inserted with the space bar.

This is very common so it is good to know how to fix the problem.

First, look at the two headings. Do you see the blue paragraph symbol after each one? That is where the style information for the heading is stored. If you cut and paste the text, make sure to keep the style information with it or you will lose your formatting. In other words, highlight the whole line including the hidden character before you cut or copy.

Now you can carefully delete all of the extra characters. Highlight all of them, then press Delete on you keyboard.

Press Ctrl + * to Hide All.

Your document should look like the following:

If you need to reapply Heading 2, follow these steps:

  1. Highlight the heading text or insert your cursor within the text.
  2. On the Home tab, in the Styles group, click Heading 2.
  3. Press Ctrl + S to save.

Now you have a nice clean document.

Can’t Delete White Space – Hidden Table or Style?
by: Sue

Linda: It sounds like you might have either a hidden table or a paragraph style that is causing the trouble.

If you hover over the heading text, does a small box with a plus sign appear on the top left? If so, click it. It will highlight the hidden table.

The easiest way to work with a hidden table is to show the borders. Here’s how:

  1. With the table still highlighted, right-click.
  2. Select Borders and Shading from the menu. The Borders and Shading dialog box opens.
  3. On the Borders tab, select All.
  4. Click OK.

Once you can see the table borders, you can drag the cell border to shrink the row that is causing the white space below the heading.When you are finished, follow the same directions as above, but on the Borders tab, select None.

If a table is not the culprit, then the white space may be set in the Paragraph settings.

Here is how to fix it:

  1. Place the cursor in the heading.
  2. On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click the little arrow in the lower right corner to launch the Paragraph dialog box.
  3. On the Indents and Spacing tab, under Spacing, change the After setting.

If the After spacing is already set to zero or a low number and changing it doesn’t get rid of the white space, place the cursor in the following sentence, then repeat the instructions. Only this time, change the Before spacing.

I hope this helps! If not, I can troubleshoot the actual document for you. Use my contact form to get in touch with me.

Extra Whitespace Below Header – Fixes Continued
by: Sue

To continue with Linda’s problem, there is an issue that can cause excess whitespace between the page header and the first line of text in your document.This has to do with how you have set your page margins and your header margins.

For instance, if your top margin is set to 1.25″ and your header margin is set to .25″, you will have almost an inch of whitespace below your header.

First, check to see what your top page margin is set to. Then check your header margins. To do this, double-click inside the header to activate it, then follow these steps:

  1. On the Header & Footer Tools Design tab, find the Position Group.
  2. Change the Header from Top setting.
  3. Click Close Header and Footer.

Hopefully one of these fixes works for you!

large white space under header
by: Anonymous

I’ve had this problem. If you double-click on the white space it opens the header for editing. But it’s only on some of the pages. If you pull on the header marker in the left ruler to shrink the size of the header, the header bottom bounces down to the footer, overlapping the body text. It’s weird. I think it’s a software bug.

White space under header
by: Charlotte

I have this exact same problem – random white spaces under the header, different on different pages, same section – it’s sending me insane! No marks, nothing’s there, only it’s pushing the text right down and it looks stupid.

No idea what to do :o(

Random solution
by: Charlotte

I actually managed to get rid of mine, somewhat randomly, by deleting page breaks and carriage returns that appear at the end of the paragraph/section where the weird white space appears above. It just clicked back into where it should be – two incidents.Hope it works for someone else too, maybe?Charlotte

Fix to huge space in header
by: Daniel

OK, so I was having the same problem where, after inserting a page break, a huge amount of space was in the header, for no apparent reason, with no marks nor anything else. So after going crazy for a while, I figured out the solution. If you go to page layout > page setup. In the layout tab, where it says Page. Make sure it is not in anything other that top. I had it in Centered, so everytime I inserted a page break, the text would appeared centered. So change this option, and problem fixed.

Hiding or Showing White Space Between Pages
by: Sue

ActiveX is slowly being phased out by Microsoft, but the inability to work with it in Word for Mac may cause problems for users who need that feature. Microsoft Word for Mac doesn't support, which is a Windows-only technology. The Mac lacks integration with SharePoint and Visual Basic. While Word for Mac has some level of support for SharePoint and Visual Basic, it does not support all aspects of these features. Word for Mac doesn't include Digital Ink and the associated freestyle drawing tools. Last application for microsoft word on mac.

Hi Karen: Make sure you are in Print Layout View and not Draft view. (These options are located on the View tab.) In Print Layout View, there should be a thin gray line between pages. Hover your mouse over it until you see an icon that shows two arrows facing each other. Once you see that icon, double-click. The white space between the pages should reappear. This is a toggle, you can repeat the process to hide the white space again.
