For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I would like to thank those that offered to help me with my problem of a
page in WORD that would not print.
After trying every suggestion, the method that worked involved extracting
the corrupted page and saving off the document.
Then I opened the document and recreated the page.
Weirdness kicked in again when I attempted to print the page. WORD would not
recognize the section break from the previous page. So, even though the
screen displayed the page properly, WORD printed the page with the
formatting of the previous page.
Adding a redundant section break to the new page fixed the problem.
Now all of the pages are printing!
Thanks again,
Will

shows section break info more clearly than the printed view does. Good Luck.
That's a good one! Perhaps the content of page 30 was put into a field
instead of regular text. If switching to hide field codes makes the
content of page 30 hide, then that is what happened.
