Removing a page

[Guest]

All,

This should be so simple but i am struggling to find out how I can remove a
page for word.

The document in question is 25 pages long and has a number of sections. I am
trying to remove page 9 from the document. The document also has page numbers
so page 10 will have to be page 9 and so on. The document has headers and
footers.

Page 8 is in section 2 and page 9 (the one I am trying to remove) is in
section 3. I have removed all content from page 9 and I am now left with a
header and a footer on a blank page.

The problem is, is that I cannot remove the header and footer from the page.
But I don't even know if that would allow me to delete the page anyway.

The is what I have done.

1) Removed content from page 9
2) Clicked on show and hide breaks
3) Removed content in headers and footers
4) I have unlinked to previous on the header and footer on page 9

When I highlight the breaks in the header and footer and then press delete
nothing happens!

How do I remove the page and then link page 8 and 10 together with page 10
then being page 9?

You help would be appreciated as this is driving me nuts!!!!

Many thanks,

Luke

Using the File>Page Setup dialog, with the selection in Page 9, change the
Section start attribute to Continuous.

You probably have it set to Next Page and in addition, the first paragraph
on Page 10 may be formatted to have a page break before it.
You may also have a superfluous hard page break in there somewhere.

You shouldn't have to delete header (and footer) contents separately,
since the page will disappear anyway when it is completely blank. See
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BlankPage.htm. See also
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/WorkWithSections.htm, which
describes possible issues when deleting section breaks.
