How to Remove a Blank Page in Word?

If you have a blank page that you need to delete, follow these instructions. Removing a blank page in Microsoft Word is about as easy as counting to three. To make the process easier, turn on "Show paragraph marks" so that you can see where to start deleting.

Step 1:

        

  

Turn on "Show paragraph marks" in the "Home" tab up top. Its icon is a black pilcrow (¶).

·         Paragraph marks will show you the "invisible" marks you've made in your word processing document by pressing the space bar, the "enter" button, etc. These actions are invisible by default until you turn them on.

·         Hitting the paragraph marks button will allow you to see the last pilcrow (¶) on the blank page.

    

     Step 2:

Click on the blank page that you do not want.

Step 3:

     

                 

Making sure that the cursor is directly in front of the pilcrow (¶), click "Backspace." You might need to hit "Backspace" twice in order to delete the pilcrow and move the cursor back to the previous page.

·         This should do the trick, but if not try hitting "Delete" until any and all paragraph marks are entirely removed from the page you want blank.

       

      Step 4:

       Voila! Your blank page is now removed.
