Answer 1

I have had the same traumatic experience, and you just have to find the appropriate spot to hit delete several times. This is usually at the bottom of one of the pages. Eventually it will remove the third page. It's insanely annoying, I understand!

You should definitely do the procedure I described above. One time I tried it a different way though, but it didn't work. I actually scrolled down to the blank page and punched my computer screen to get rid of the third page. It did get rid of that blank page in addition to the other pages, parts of my computer screen, and parts of my hand. Luckily most of my hand grew back...

If you cannot get rid of that third page, you can always just send a blank piece of paper through the printer or only put in two pieces of paper and 'cancel' the rest of the printing. However, perhaps you are e-mailing it...in that case, push delete at the end of the pages until the third page disappears.

I am happy that you are applying for jobs and such because then you won't be around to worry about your chimpanzee and camel so much--you'll be too busy for it! Be sure to mention your variety of animals you care for; employers love to hire caring people. If you get an interview, bring your animals along to testify what a good provider you are. Nothing wins the heart of an employer like crocodiles wandering around the interviewing room, chimpanzees sticking their fingers in the interviewer's mouth and nose, and kangaroos hopping about during interviews. Plus it's good distraction if you happen to make a small mistake. Best of luck!

Answer 5

You have probably hit "Enter" (as in "Return") at the very end of what you typed. Hit "Backspace" until it takes you back to the item you last typed (most likely your name). When it starts to backspace (and erase) your name, you should be back on Page Two.
Otherwise, you may have to adjust the Page margins to allow that last bit of text that wants to take you over the limit.

Or, if all else fails, go back through that resume and tighten it up. Eliminate any unnecessary wording and see if you can get those paragraphs to end a little sooner, and save a few lines.

Hope this helps.

Answer 6

Bart S has the correct idea but go to the end of page two, which I suspect he meant, and start deleting until the bar at the right of the screen shortens to 2 pages.

Answer 7

Go back to the end of the last line of the text on page 1, and keep hitting 'delete'. It will go eventually!

Don't forget to 'save' after that.

Answer 8

You have to go to right past the last word or symbol you typed, put your blinking cursor there, and then hit delete a few times until the page disappears. Sometimes you have to scroll up to page one and then back down to see it go away...

Answer 9

You have obviously added unused paragraph returns at the bottom of your script. Put the curser down there and delete up until you've deleted that page.
