DELETE EXTRA PAGE

[Guest]

HOW ON EARTH DO I DELETE A BLANK PAGE THAT PRINTS AFTER MY DOCUMENT? I'VE TRIED DOING THE SHOW/HIDE PARAGRAPH THING AND THERE IS A PARAGRAPH SYMBOL ON THE BLANK 2ND PAGE, BUT I CANNOT, FOR THE LIFE OF ME FIGURE OUT HOW TO DELETE IT.

More than likely your first page goes all the way down to the bottom margin.
make sure you are in Print Layout view ("View" menu), scroll down to the
bottom of the page to see the bottom margin in the ruler to the left, then
drag the bottom margin down a little until the 2nd page goes away. You
might to do the same to the top margin as well, keeping in mind the
printable area of the printer you are going to (can't get as close to the
bottom of a page with an Inkjet printer).

By the way, CAPS LOCK signifies "yelling" and isn't appreciated in
NewsGroups!

Hi there

There are a couple of things you can do
1: highlight the paragraph mark and make the font size the smallest you can
2: go into page setup and make the top and bottom margins smalle

Hope this helps,
Kathy

Dear Joh

My first visit here as I was trying to delete some pages myself and got desperate. If you go to "Outline" view and page down to the end of your document and delete everything until you are back where you want to be this SEEMS to work!

I don't know why Microsoft couldn't have just added "Delete page" to "delete". It's easy to delete a sheet in Excel but very hard to do it in a document.

Dear John

My first visit here as I was trying to delete some pages myself and
got desperate. If you go to "Outline" view and page down to the end
of your document and delete everything until you are back where you

I don't know why Microsoft couldn't have just added "Delete page" to
"delete". It's easy to delete a sheet in Excel but very hard to do
it in a document.

Microsoft didn't add delete page to Word because a page in Word is a purely
transient entity determined by text flow and the supplementary content like
headers and drawings. However, the pages are internally bookmarked and you
can delete a 'page' using a macro, which at its simplest level is:

Sub PageDelete()
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Delete
End Sub

This may or may not give the results required. It depends on the document,
but there's always undo if it doesn't go as planned!
