Delete a page in MS Word

You can delete a blank page in a Word document by deleting the page break at the end of the page. You can also combine two pages by deleting the page break between them.

Make sure you're in normal view (on the View menu, click Normal). If nonprinting characters, such as paragraph markers (¶) , are not visible, click Show/Hide on the Standard toolbar, and then do one of the following:

  • To delete a page manually, select the page break at the end of the page, and then press DELETE.
  • To delete a blank page at the end of the document, select the page break or any paragraph markers (¶) at the end of the document, and then press DELETE.
  • To delete a page break placed before a specific paragraph, click the paragraph, and then on the Format menu, click Paragraph, click the Line and Page Breaks tab, and then clear the Page break before check box.
