Deleting A Page In Word

Answer 4

Using the following method works best with short documents, such as letters and memos, that only have a small amount of text on the last page.

On the File menu, click Print Preview.
Click Shrink to Fit .

Note In order to shrink the document, Microsoft Word decreases the font size of each font used in the document. You can undo a Shrink to Fit operation by clicking Undo Shrink to Fit on the Edit menu. However, after you save the document and close it, there is no quick way to restore the original font size.

Answer 5

I've just recently had this same problem with a resume as well. My problem was that my resume was one big table, and Word automatically inserts a new paragraph after a table. On the next page was just a new paragraph because it would not fit on the first page.

To fix this, type a space at the beginning of the blank page you want to remove. Then drag to select the space. Now change the font on that space to 1. (1 is not always an option, but you can type it in the font size box) Your page should dissapear, as the space now fits underneath your previous page.

I found this answer at this site, and they have a couple of other options for removing pages if this method does not work:

Answer 6

Hit the paragraph symbol to see what's causing it to go to the second page. If it's an empty space, just place the cursor there and either do backspace or delete. Alternatively, you can mess with the margins. For instance, write it in MLA style, that is 1" all around, if you haven't. Good luck~

Answer 7

Try this
At the start of the blank page click and HOLD the left mouse button,and drag the mouse to be bottom right of the last page. Release the mouse and hit the delete key. It should delete everything from on the blank pages and they should disappear. They re-save the document.

Answer 8

That's a great question

Answer 9

I haven't figured that yet.

Just print the page you want by highlighting.

You could copy your page and paste to another file.
