How to Create Templates in Word 2007 Without Page Breaks
The Microsoft Word 2007 word processor features templates, documents set up with formatting specific to a certain project. Templates save time by allowing users to create new documents without having to do repetitive formatting each time they want to do a new document of the type the template is based upon. Multipage template documents in Word typically have page breaks between pages. Remove the page breaks to create a template without them.

Remove page breaks in your template by going to the last line or image on each page. Place your cursor after the last letter and press the "Delete" key on your keyboard until the text on the following page moves to the point of your cursor. This is the only way to ensure a page break is gone.
