Word Document

[brainiac]

I have written a Word document that was originally 6 pages long, but, after editing, is now only 4 pages. I have been left with 2 completely blank pages at the end of the document - how do I delete the two blank pages please?

Put corsor at the end of your work, press the delete button and hold it down till you see the last page disappear. If by accident you delete some of your work press undo, or ctrl+Z, till you get your letters back

'cursor'

Thanks for that - I'll give it a go!

A quicker way would be:
Put the cursor at the end of your work
Hit CTRL-Shift-PgDn
Hit Delete

I've managed to get rid of one of the blank pages, but the final one refuses to budge - can't get the cursor to the end of the blank page. Been fiddling with it for ages, and any further ideas would be appreciated! I feel there must be an 'official' way of doing it....

Without looking over your shoulder it's hard, but as a first step, get your cursor to the end of your writing then on the menu press the weird looking icon that looks like a peculiar P

This will reveal all sorts of dots and arrows - these don't show on your printed doc but they indicate what you've done in terms of making new lines, spaces, etc etc

Have a look down your last blank page and see if any symbols appear there, and if they do, try deleting that symbol

Secondly, is your last piece of writing in a table? It could be that the default spacing of the table is pushing the borders of the table into the new page. Try re-sizing the table, or the text in the table, or altering the cell spacing in the table.

Hope this helps!

put cursor at end of writing on last good page and keep pressing delete
