4 methods for deleting page from Word document

A hard page break may be inserted by hitting Ctrl + Enter or Command + Return, while a soft page break can be entered by Word to wrap text at the right margin. The latter may only be deleted by deleting the characters that come before or after it.

1. How to use the Ctrl + Page Up Windows shortcut in Word

When you need to show a single page on a Windows device, regardless of what is on it, place the cursor at the start of the page after the one you wish to delete it, then click the Delete key.

In other words, you would need to travel to the top of page 3 and hit the Delete key if you wanted to delete page 2 of your document.

Although it goes to the top of the previous page, the Ctrl + Page Up shortcut may be a little helpful. This indicates that even if the page is genuinely blank, you may still utilise this shortcut. The desired behaviour of Ctrl + Page Up is not achieved if the page has text, even blank lines.

2. How to use the Navigation pane to delete pages in Word

• Click the View tab and then click Navigation pane in the Show group.

• Click Pages in the Navigation pane.

• Click the empty page, then hit the Delete key. The prominent blue border will let you know the page has been chosen.

3. What to do when there’s no hard page break to delete in Word.

Hard line returns can be used to force a new page. Hard paragraph returns, sometimes referred to as paragraph marks, result in a blank page. Pressing the Enter key is represented visually by the paragraph marks.

Select all the paragraph markers on the page, then hit the Delete key to remove them.

4. How to select and delete a page in Word

If you can see the page break, you can delete it without a shortcut or special pane. Simply select it and press Delete.
