How to Delete Page in Word

About this video

This very short Word tutorial fixes a stubborn problem: an extra blank page that will not delete. Kevin’s guaranteed method is to place the cursor at the very end of the text you want to keep and hold down the Delete key until the blank pages disappear. He then undoes the fix to explain why the pages existed, turning on the Show/Hide button in the Paragraph group on the Home tab to reveal hidden formatting marks. Those marks expose the culprits, such as section breaks, paragraph marks, spaces, and tabs that silently push content onto extra pages. He notes the same Show/Hide view is useful for spotting stray spaces and line breaks that disturb a document’s layout, and it can be toggled off again when finished.

Key takeaways

• Put the cursor at the end of the kept text and hold Delete to remove blank pages
• Blank pages are usually caused by hidden breaks and paragraph marks
• Turn on Show/Hide in the Home tab Paragraph group to see formatting marks
• Section breaks, spaces, and tabs can all create unwanted extra pages
• Show/Hide also helps spot stray spacing that breaks document layout
