How to Delete a Page in Word – Remove Blank or Extra Pages

To delete a page in Word, follow these steps:

  1. First, click at the beginning of the page that you want to delete.
  2. Hold down the “Shift” key and then click at the end of the page that you want to delete. This should highlight the entire page.
  3. Press the “Delete” key on your keyboard. This should delete the page.

If the page you want to delete is blank, it can be a bit trickier. Here are a few different methods to try:

  1. Place your cursor at the end of the previous page, then press the “Delete” key until the blank page disappears.
  2. Check to see if there are any hidden page breaks by clicking the “Home” tab and then selecting “Show/Hide” in the Paragraph group. If there is a hidden page break, select it and delete it.
  3. Adjust the margins by going to the “Layout” tab and clicking “Margins.” Try decreasing the bottom margin to make the content on the page fit onto the previous page.

If none of these methods work, you may need to copy and paste the content you want to keep onto a new document and save it as a separate file.
