Answer 1

To delete a page that contains text, graphics, or empty paragraphs, select the content to delete, and press Delete.

Word includes a non-delete able end-paragraph that sometimes gets pushed out to a new, blank page at the end of a document. The way to delete the page is to make the end-paragraph fit onto the preceding page.

The most sure-fire way is to make the end-paragraph very small (1 point):

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+8 (⌘+8 on a Mac) to show paragraph marks.
2. Select the paragraph mark.
3. Select inside the Font size box, type 01, and then press Enter. The paragraph now fits on the preceding page, removing the unwanted blank page.
4. Press Ctrl+Shift+8 again to hide the paragraph marks (⌘+8 on a Mac).

If that paragraph still doesn't fit on the preceding page, you can make the bottom margin smaller (Layout tab > Margins > Custom Margins, and set the bottom margin to something small, like 0.3 inches).

To delete a blank page in Google Docs, you can follow these steps:

1. Click on the page you want to delete.
2. If the page has text, click at the beginning of the text.
3. If it’s a blank page, click at the end of the last bit of text on the previous page.
4. Press the backspace key if the page has text or the delete key if it is a blank page. Press the backspace key if the page has text or the delete key if it is a blank page. Keep pressing until all the unwanted text is gone, and the page will disappear.
