    If this video helped you, you can support the creation of more such videos with a *SUPER THANKS* 🙌❤
    IMPORTANT: Solution 6:
    A few of you mentioned that this video didn't solve their problem and I looked at the documents and saw what the issue was. When you have an image on the following page, that is anchored to the paragraph which starts on the previous page, then this image will drag the paragraph (or part of the paragraph) with it onto the next page. To solve this, you will either have to move the anchor of that image to the next paragraph, or simply move the image itself further down a bit. Like that, you release the connection between the image and the paragraph and that image won't pull large chunks of text with it!

    I appreciate you walking through all of these steps because every other video and Microsoft information for fixing this problem did not fix it. The kept saying it was a page break problem but my problem was not that it was actually in the layout section that you described at the very end where it was not lining up to the top of the page it was set to center. THANK YOU!

    I am working in a book and the problem I am having is that there is a gap between the text at the end of a page and the footnotes.
    How can I remove this gap?
    Thank you

    • @LeonRenner
      @LeonRenner  Před 18 dny

      Could be multiple things. Maybe a too large footer, maybe something in the footer settings (czcams.com/video/H1EbUAqVH-M/video.html), maybe something else.

    @teachoc9482 Před 2 měsíci +1

    No. You didn't say how to get rid of a large gap that happens after I insert a picture and try to wrap the text. When I do that, it makes a page break above the picture, when I am using MS Word online (the free version).

    • @LeonRenner
      @LeonRenner  Před 2 měsíci

      I don't belive that choosing text wrapping will insert a page break. Maybe you will see additional space but I still don't believe that Word will insert an actual page break. And in case you are only talking about additional space, please see my pinned comment where I explained what can happen with images.

      Any chance this happens when images are somewhere nearby? If not, feel free to send me your doc at youtube@leonrenner.com. I’m always interested in new reasons why something like this could happen.

      @@LeonRenner Thank you for continuing to work with me on this. I turned off "different first page" and the only impact what adding a page number and page header to the first page (as expected). Page 29, the problem page, was not impacted. I also noticed that "different odd and even pages" was checked. So I tried unchecking that. The result was to toss many of my graphics around into strange places on the pages, but it had no impact on Page 29. (I hope that turning odd and even back on will realign my graphics, but I somehow doubt it. The document is 70 pages in total length.) Thanks for your efforts.

      Well, turning "different first page on" converted my cover page into Page 1 of the document. (Sigh.) And my former page 1 now has my even page header. I think I'll revert to my last backup copy.
