So the issue comes when using tables.
Make a table cell end at the bottom of the page, and you'll likely have a new blank page appear at the end.

The reason is because word needs a 'new paragraph' marker (the backwards p symbol) after the table. This delineates where the table ends - it's part of the formatting. You can't delete it.

Ways to get around it:

Don't make you're table go to the end of the page.
Reduce the font size of the new paragraph marker to 1 (you need to enable show formatting marks). You can probably fit this at the bottom of the page without losing much space.

              set your bottom margin ever so slightly lower so it accommodates the light height of the blank paragraph.

That's a great idea - didn't think of that
