Word Program Editing Issue

I need assistance with my Word program, which is not executing text formatting commands while editing an article for a journal. The main issue is that I am unable to remove a page break using the usual deletion method involving the Format icon. After the icon disappeared, I attempted to remove the dots that appear after it on the page, but the problem persists.

Key Requirements:
- Expertise in troubleshooting Word program text formatting issues.
- Ability to resolve page break removal problems effectively.

Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Proficiency in Microsoft Word and its formatting features.
- Experience in resolving complex text formatting issues.
- Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
