So the issue comes when using tables.
Make a table cell end at the bottom of the page, and you'll likely have a new blank page appear at the end.
The reason is because word needs a 'new paragraph' marker (the backwards p symbol) after the table. This delineates where the table ends - it's part of the formatting. You can't delete it.
Ways to get around it:
This is the most important word processing tip of all. Mine is always on.
Does that include the dots between words instead of spaces? My colleague uses that and their documents are nigh unreadable to me at a glance
Yes, but you get used to it very quickly.
You don't enable it for everyone who reads the documents, just yourself.
I'm aware, I just frequently have to do over-the-shoulder proofreading and the dots always frustrate me
It does, but that's invaluable too, and you get used to it pretty quickly. It let's you see if there's a space (dot), tab (arrow), line wrap (bent arrow), or whatever. Very useful if you deal with documents a lot.
