How can I hide a page in word without deleting it?

I need to hide the page itself, not just the content (it's a blank page anyway).

P.S.: I failed to do that in the exam so I ask how it can be done.

    To hide the page without deleting it, select the entire content of the page and format it as Hidden. A blank page is never truly "blank"; to exist at all it must contain at least one paragraph mark; format that as Hidden.

    You need to hide the page break and any empty paragraphs (which should not be there to start with) as well as the text.

    Ctrl+Shift+8 (Ctrl+*) and Shift+F1

    If the page is present although it has no visible content, display nonprinting marks by clicking the ¶ icon on the Home tab. Most likely, you'll find that the page contains blank paragraphs (¶) which you can select and delete.
