MS Word (render) blank page

I'm trying to render a MS Word document from a visualforce page. But because of the use of the header/footer I get a blank second page.

Does anybody know how to get rid of the blank page? I tried several CSS and scripts.
 
<apex:page standardController="mployeeTime__timeSheetMonth__c" extensions="API_timeSheetMonthExtension" sidebar="false" contentType="application/msword#test.doc" cache="true">
<html xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word">
<apex:variable var="item" value="{!mployeeTime__timeSheetMonth__c}" />

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>

<style>

    }

    font-size: 9px;
    width:60%;
   }

    table td {
        width:25%;
    }
    table td.odd {
        background-color:#999;
    }
    
    table.line-items tbody tr td:last-child {

Hi Robbert Bos,

when using the page-break-after:always for the tag it will create a page break after the last bit of the table, creating an entirely blank page at the end every time! To fix this just change it to page-break-after:auto. It will break correctly and not create an extra blank page.

From below link try this if it helps you.

Hope this helps you!

Please mark it as Best Answer if my reply was helpful. It will make it available for other as the proper solution. 
 
Thanks and Regards

Thanks! In addition to this I changed the margins and content a bit; because it was to much for one page.
