Last post from me in this thread. Inserting a blank page implies, to me, that the page numbering would advance not by one number, but by two. However, when I insert alt-n,n, p, the sequence is the same as if no blank page had been added. It’s very possible I’m being dense. But this is way off topic, and I’m sorry I posed the question in the first place. In addition, personal comments do not belong on the list.
From: Brian Vogel [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 18, 2016 11:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Word 2013 Blank Page You asked, in several posts, and in several different ways, and I quote, "Can you or anyone else explain when "alt-n, n, p" would be needed in lieu of control-enter to create a new page. I can't think of a situation," and, "I remain curious whether there’s a practical difference between the page break and new page commands." I then explained the difference between what CTRL+Enter, the page break, which simply cleaves a page, pushing part of it on to the next page while leaving a partial page of white space on the original one, and ALT+N,NP, the insert blank page, which cleaves that same page, introduces a full blank page afterward, and pushes the remainder of the original page to the top of a page after that full blank page (with the partial blank page is also present just after the insert point, too). Then, after making that explanation, you post, "Hm. When I enter alt-n, n, p into a document, the page number after it is enumerated right after the page number preceding the code. It sounds to me as though you’re describing an “insert blank page” code." I described the insert page break first, and the insert blank page directly afterward, and I made that point, briefly, after that post. You have repeatedly posted what I consider really odd follow ups when I have answered questions you, or someone else, has posed directly and I have answered clearly. I fail to comprehend why that is. It irks me. Now I'll let it go. Brian
