How do I delete a blank page in word at end of document in word for web

Question

I can't find accurate directions for deleting a blank page at the end of a document; word for web, using chrome browser

Answer 1

To delete a blank page at the end of a document in Word for the web, you can try the following steps:

1. Check for Page Breaks: Sometimes, a blank page can be caused by a page break. In the document, switch to the Print Layout view to see if there are any page breaks at the end of your document. If you find one, click on it and press the Delete key.
2. Remove Extra Paragraph Marks: If there are extra paragraph marks (¶) at the end of your document, they can create a blank page. You can enable the formatting marks to see them by clicking on the Show/Hide button (¶) in the toolbar. Delete any extra paragraph marks to remove the blank page.
3. Adjust Page Layout: Ensure that your page layout settings are correct. Check the margins and ensure they are not set too wide, which could push content onto a new page.
4. Use the Navigation Pane: If the above methods don’t work, you can use the Navigation Pane to find and delete the blank page. Open the Navigation Pane from the View menu, and look for the blank page in the document outline. You can select it and delete it from there.

These steps should help you remove the blank page at the end of your document in Word for the web.

Answer 2

On the Home tab, click on the backwards P icon to show the hidden formatting characters. If you now can see a Page Break on the second last page, delete it. If there are multiple paragraph marks at the end of your document, delete those.

It's possible that your document also contains a Section Break (Next Page) on the second last page. Unfortunately, those are not deleteable in Word for the web. You would have to use a desktop version of Word in Windows or macOS to get rid of those.

Which commands do you see in Word in your browser? Sometimes, you see a single line version of the ribbon which doesn't include all available commands. Click the little arrow on the far right of the ribbon and choose Classic Ribbon.

Then you should see the pilcrow icon, ¶, in the Paragraph group on the Home tab.

Answer 5

At the right end of the Ribbon, click on the down-pointing arrowhead and choose Classic Ribbon. Then choose the backwards P icon.
