To clearly see what's pushing your document onto that fourth page, turn on the non-printing characters switch. Go to Word > Preferences > View and in the Non-Printing Characters group, mark the checkbox labeled All. Now you'll be able to see what has pushed you onto that last page. If it's just an extra couple of blank paragraphs all you have to do is place the insertion point on the last paragraph mark and press Delete.

I've run into this several times and couldn't find anything in Google that helped (I know it's not a line break or hidden table!!). It happens when I'm using Styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc). I'm not sure what's going on, but here's how I fixed it: • Highlight or just click in the text • Right click • Select 'Paragraph' • Go to 'Line and Page Breaks' tab • Check 'Keep with next' • OK What exactly does that do? I'm not sure, but it solved the problem for me, so I figured I'd share here since this seemed to be one of the top hits in Google. The default in the resume template I used was 'keep with next.' I copied the column to a new document and converted it from table to text. If you don't want to have to remember to change it each time you open a new blank word processing document, create your own template. Open the blank template & set up your document with the line spacing, margins, headers, etc. As you'd like. Then I could select the entire thing and turn off widow and orphan control. I found it difficult to do it while still in the table, because I could pull up the Paragraph settings only randomly, not consistently. Thanks to Rick for mentioning that nasty 'Keep with next' setting.;-) FOLLOW UP: Actually, the above described technique helped, but I still get two pages with two lines at the bottom. Table is formatted to put all text at the top. They are consecutive pages so it isn't a folio verso thing. I copied the misbehaving likes to Notepad to strip hidden formatting, put them back, and they jumped to the bottom of their respective pages. 2ND FOLLOW UP: Word 2013 is either buggy or there is a demon in the online template I chose. I solved the last remaining problems by setting a specific (exactly, not at least) row height for each row and set each to allow breaking across pages. On the second page, the table rows went out of bounds, as if I'd set different R and L page margins. Broke it into a second table to see if that would help.
