To delete a blank page in Microsoft Word, you can try the following methods:

Basic Method Using Go To and Delete

1. Click anywhere on the blank page you want to delete.
2. Press Ctrl + G (Windows) or Option + Command + G (Mac) to open the "Go To" dialog.
3. In the "Enter page number" box, type \page and press Enter.
4. Close the dialog, and the entire page content will be selected.
5. Press the Delete key on your keyboard to remove the page

Using the Navigation Pane

1. Go to the View tab and check the box for Navigation Pane.
2. In the pane on the left, click the Pages tab to see thumbnails of all pages.
3. Select the blank page thumbnail.
4. Press the Delete key to remove the blank page

Deleting Paragraph Marks and Page Breaks

• Press Ctrl + Shift + 8 (Windows) or Command + 8 (Mac) to show paragraph marks and hidden formatting.
• Look for extra paragraph marks (¶), manual page breaks, or section breaks on the blank page.
• Select these marks and press Delete or Backspace to remove them.
• If the last paragraph mark cannot be deleted (common on the last page), reduce its font size to 1 to make it fit on the previous page, effectively removing the blank page

Special Case: Blank Page at the End Due to Section Breaks

• Place the cursor directly before the section break at the end of the document.
• Press Delete to remove the section break, which often removes the blank page

These methods cover most scenarios for deleting blank pages in Word documents, whether the blank page is in the middle or at the end of the document. If one method doesn't work, try combining them for best results.
