How to remove unneeded page after Section Break

Working on a 60-page document with many tables. The last item is a list. Must put a Section Break Next Page at the end of the list to retain the formatting. Section Break Continuous will not work for some reason. Getting extra blank page at the end. It has non-printing character at the top. Cannot find a way to get rid of extra page. Have tried all the suggestions on the Forum, but they aren't working in this situation. Need to hook 10 similar long documents together and each has this extra page at the end. Would greatly appreciate an answer to this dilemma. Thank you.

I'm afraid I'm getting a little confused :-} Section Breaks of any kind need only be used at the start of a new Section... If there's nothing following a section there's no need for an additional section break at the end of it.

I'm guessing on this but here's something to try -- Perhaps another user left an empty paragraph at the end of the document, then created the SB but changed the Orientation of only the section preceding that empty ¶. If so, that needless section still has Portrait Orientation which would explain why the Orientation of the preceding section changes when you delete the SB. When a SB is deleted the preceding section inherits the attributes of the section that followed the break.

Go to the empty ¶, change the Orientation to Landscape for that Section, then delete the SB.

If that doesn't take care of it I'm not sure what to suggest without seeing the document.
