extra paragraph mark at end of document

Post by ChrisGreaves »

I have just now re-read the topic extra paragraph mark inserted between pageBreak & headin and I think it is not what I am looking for.
Nor is the thread Word2003 - test for "End Of Document".

About two to three years ago (I think) a post was made about eradicating a duplicate paragraph mark, I think at the end of the document.
There was some discussion, but I can't remember whether a VBA solution was involved.
At that time I read the thread with interest because I had often fallen into an endless loop trying to remove that extra paragraph mark at the end of a document.

From my memory, it was not enough to GoTo the end of a document and delete the paragraph mark, because MSWord always places a paragraph mark at the end of a document, on principle, even if it has been deleted.

I would appreciate a link to the thread, if anyone here can remember enough about it to find it.

Thanks
Chris

Perhaps Remove trailing para mark?
Thank you hans!
That was probably it. (But six years ago?!!???)
I suspect my interest was piqued at the time because I have suffered from Blank Page Syndrome.
My situation now is occasional errant double paragraph marks at the end of the document. i can resolve that with a couple of lines of VBA, but first I wanted to read up on what was already published.
Cheers
