Why does word formatting result in a blank page on the next page when I insert a separator?

The conclusion is that when you insert separators in a Word document, you may accidentally produce a blank page. To fix this problem, just follow a few simple steps. First, you need to switch to normal view mode. The specific steps are as follows:

1. After inserting a separator in the document, the appearance of a blank page is usually obvious because there will be an extra blank area below the text, as shown in the picture you see.

2. Find the view option at the top of the document and select "Normal View", so that the page layout will be different, and you will see the separator mark below the text, as shown in the picture.

3. Next, locate the separator, select it with the mouse, and then click the "Delete" button to remove it. After deletion, the separator and the blank page it brings will disappear, as shown in the figure.

4. Finally, return to page view mode and confirm whether the blank page has been successfully removed. Now, you should see that the document is back to normal with no extra blank pages.
