If you cannot remove it using the normal means, surely that means 
that what you have is not, in fact, a page break?

There are other reasons for text to behave like this - for example, 
the widow and orphan control in the paragraph formatting or in the 
paragraph style. You could check those.

Remember that pasting material often brings by default formatting 
characteristics that were in the original document. If you don't want 
these in the target document, the easy way is to use Edit | Paste 
Special... (or Ctrl+Shift+V) instead of ordinary Paste, selecting 
"Unformatted text" in the Paste Special dialogue.

I trust this helps.
