While reading the Democratic Party's official platform I noticed it has a couple of extra blank pages that were almost certainly inserted by Word formatting errors

ProTip: when editing large documents (especially useful for ones with images!) inserting page breaks at the end of sections of the document (shift-enter by memory) can help prevent formatting issues from cascading out of the current section of the document

It's better to use sections or paragraphs formatted as starting on a new page. Using page breaks or lots of blank lines to get to get things paginated is how you end up with wonky formatting like blank pages.
