How to delete a blank page from Word
2 methods: Delete additional paragraphs and page breaks Delete a blank page at the end of a table
Additional blank pages in Microsoft Word are usually the result of additional paragraphs or page breaks. If you have tried (and could not) remove a page by clicking on the lower right corner of a blank page and pressing the space bar until it disappears, you can solve the problem by removing all hidden format markers. Learn how to show and remove paragraph markers and page breaks, and what to do if you find one that can not be deleted.

1
Open the document in Word. In many cases, blank pages in a Word document are the result of additional paragraphs or page breaks added. You must activate the formatting markers in Word to determine if that is what is causing the problem.

Press ^ Ctrl + Shift + 8 (on Windows) or ⌘ Cmd + 8 (on Mac). Now you will see the paragraph markers (¶) at the beginning of each blank line, as well as at the end of the existing paragraphs. You may also see lines that say "Page break". [1]

If there is a paragraph mark that you can not delete, it may be at the end of a table. [2] See the section Delete a blank page at the end of a table in this article.

Delete a blank page at the end of a table

1
Open the document in Word. Blank pages that can not be deleted can appear in documents that end with tables. The position of the table requires Word to store the format information of the document in an empty paragraph just below the table. [3] You will not be able to delete that paragraph; however, you can reduce it to eliminate the blank page.
Try this method if you are using a Word template (for example, resumes, charts or brochures, since these usually contain tables).
