Hi
I can't get rid of this blank page that appears after my Table of contents if I want the Table of contents to be a separate section. Any tips?

It would be easier to help if you showed a screen shot of the pages with Show invisibles on.
Hi
Thanks for your answer. The only invisible character is the section break thing at the very top of the blank page. I can't figure out how to place it directly after the Table of contents. If I remove the section break, the Table of Contents merges with the following section, which is not what I want at all.
You need to remove the paragraph return after "20" & before the section break. That paragraph return is "pushing" the section break to the next page.
I've tried to remove that paragraph return but it doesn't work! I mean, I'm sure it would, but I've found no way of removing it without deleting the entire Table of Contents. When I click the Table of Contents in order to put the marker after the paragraph return in order to delete it, it looks like this:
What happens if you delete the section break? The space after the TOC is rather large, how come?
The space after the TOC is determined by the size of the TOC itself, so if I add more headlines in the document the space will shrink.
If I delete the section break the Table becomes merged with the following section, which is not ideal.
But you will get rid of the blank page. Are you sure that you don't have another sections break on the next page too?
Yes, that does indeed get rid of the blank page, but it just seems weird to have the TOC in the same section as the Introduction (which follows), and also it will mess up the page numbers because the TOC and Title page should not have page numbers, and the way I got that work is dependent upon sections.
Yes, the only thing on the blank page is the section break at the top, there's nothing else below it.
This is so weird, but I managed to solve it.
I just moved the section with the TOC and the blank page around by draging the section in the left-hand list, and lo and behold – the blank page just vanished!
Must be some sort of bug I suppose, but I'm glad I got it to work!
Thanks a lot for helping out, both of you!
I find it weird that you can't get the section brea to move up on the same page as the TOC lke I have in this image.
Try selecting the TOC and reduce the line spacing.
See my post above. =)
