This is an article on how to delete a blank page at any position in Word. The blank page in the middle of the document is often visible because extra paragraphs or page breaks are hidden. The white page shows at the end of the text for the same reason – however, another cause could be the feature to hide the last paragraph. You can remove a blank page by making the page break and paragraph icon visible, and then manually edit or delete it.
Steps
Remove the blank page in the middle of the document

Find the white page in the text. If you see a blank page in the middle of the text, it could be because of an unintentional page break or an extra text highlight icon that you don’t see.

Press Ctrl + ⇧ Shift + 8 on Windows or ⌘ Cmd + 8 on Mac. This makes a paragraph marker (¶) appear at the beginning of a blank line and at the end of each paragraph. If this page has page breaks, you’ll see them marked with dotted lines and the word “Page Break”.

Find the little black square next to the text marker icon. You need to find this icon on the white page and the page that follows. If you see the text markup icon with a black square next to it, the text has been set to “Page break before”. You need to disable this feature. The operation is as follows:
- Click the Home tab at the top of the Word interface.
- Right-click the paragraph marker icon ¶ with the corresponding black bullet point.
- Select Paragraph… (Paragraph) on the menu.
- Click the Lines and Page Breaks tab.
- Remove the checkmark next to “Page break before” if present and click OK .

Use your mouse to highlight the text markup icon ¶ and/or the Page Break line. If you see both icons (or icons of each type), highlight them all at once.
- Also, check if the page in front of the blank page has page breaks and delete them all.
- Do not select the text marker icon displayed on the line with the content.

Press the Delete key. This will remove all paragraph markers ¶ and page breaks, and also remove blank pages.
- If the blank page is still showing, check the page breaks on the front pages.

Press Ctrl + ⇧ Shift + 8 on Windows or ⌘ Cmd + 8 on Mac again. This is the operation to hide the text marker icon.
Remove the blank page at the end of the document
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/df/Remove-a-Blank-Page-in-Word-Step-1-Version-5.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Blank-Page-in-Word-Step-1-Version-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/df/Remove-a- Blank-Page-in-Word-Step-1-Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Blank-Page-in-Word-Step-1-Version-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Find the blank page at the end of the document. If a blank page is displayed at the end of the document, it may be because the hidden text cannot be deleted. [1] X Trusted Source Microsoft Support Go to source According to Microsoft, the most effective way to remove blank pages is to shrink the hidden text.
- Hidden text that cannot be removed is usually displayed when the content of the last page (not the last white page) is displayed at the bottom of the page.

Press Ctrl + ⇧ Shift + 8 on Windows or ⌘ Cmd + 8 on Mac. This makes a paragraph marker (¶) appear at the beginning of a blank line and at the end of each paragraph. Because the blank page displays at the bottom of the document, you’ll see at least one paragraph markup icon on that page.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/fe/Remove-a-Blank-Page-in-Word-Step-9-Version-5.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Blank-Page-in-Word-Step-9-Version-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/fe/Remove-a- Blank-Page-in-Word-Step-9-Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Blank-Page-in-Word-Step-9-Version-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Remove all text markers on the blank page (if any). If multiple text markup icons are displayed on the blank page, deleting the entire icon will help you remove the blank page. Do this step first.
- If there’s only a paragraph markup icon at the top of the page, deletion won’t work – in this case, you’ll need to take additional steps.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/20/Remove-a-Blank-Page-in-Word-Step-10-Version-6.jpg/v4-460px- Remove-a-Blank-Page-in-Word-Step-10-Version-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/20/Remove-a- Blank-Page-in-Word-Step-10-Version-6.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Blank-Page-in-Word-Step-10-Version-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Change the text size of the text marker icon to 01 . Proceed as follows:
- Click the Home tab if you haven’t already opened it.
- Highlight the text markup icon.
- Click the font size next to the font name.
- Resize to 01 and press Enter or Return .

Press Ctrl + ⇧ Shift + 8 on Windows or ⌘ Cmd + 8 on Mac again. This is an operation to hide the text markup icon, and remove the white page at the end of the document by moving the hidden text to the end content page.
