How to Delete a Page in Word

4)Blank pages can’t be deleted because of Page Formatting

margins problems

If large margins or spacing causes blank pages, you can make the bottom margin smaller (Layout tab > Margins > Custom Margins, and set the bottom margin to something small, like 0.3 inches).

Section break problems

In the middle of a document, deleting section breaks can cause formatting problems. In these cases, try changing the section break to one that doesn’t generate a new page. Here’s how:

  1. Double-select the section break.
  2. On the Layout tab of the Page Setup dialog box, select the Section Start drop-down and select Continuous.
  3. Select OK.

Odd, Even, and Next cause blank pages

Next Page, Odd Page, and Even Page section breaks may create a blank page in your document. If the blank page occurs at the end of your document and you have a section break, place your cursor directly before the section break and press Delete.

Tip: To more easily find section breaks, try switching to Draft on the View tab.
