Open Office: invisible page break

When working on an open office document, I periodically come across an invisible page break (there’s no blue bar above the new page and I can’t seem to get rid of it easily).

This always happens to me when I am using Open Office’s numbering to outline requirements. The page break is very annoying. When you try to remove it, it’ll pull one line of text up even with the line on the previous page. You can add a carriage return to separate the two lines, but you have to reformat the second line.

To get rid of this annoying space, you can start adding carriage returns where the space begins and keep adding them until you have started a new page. Then, you can highlight all the added carriage returns and hit the delete key and it gets rid of the invisible page break.
