How to delete the last page in Word 2010


I am sure the question has been asked many times but I am still not able to delete the last page.


What I have tried: Pressed Control+Shift+8 to get paragraph marks and have tried deleting the last paragraph mark but to no avail.


Need some guidance on this..



Answer



Use Ctrl+Shift+8 to show empty paragraph markers and verify that there are no empty paragraphs on the last page of your document. If there are, then place your cursor at the end of your final desired page and hold down the delete key until the last (blank) page goes away.


If you have a table at the very end of your document, Word insists on forcing a blank paragraph after tables. You cannot (to the best of my knowledge) remove this paragraph but you can modify it to incredibly small font and line heights to try forcing it to fit on the last desired page. Technically you can hide this empty paragraph using Ctrl+Shift+H but it doesn't always take, it won't completely disappear until you once again hide paragraph marks.


If that doesn't work, verify that you do not have more than one section. Under "Page Layout" go to "Page Setup" options and see if your "Section Start: New Page" has changed to Odd or Even page. If it has, you'll need to carefully work this out in order to not lose formatting. I cannot give specifics without knowing the existing formatting of your document.


Finally, if you are getting a blank page at the end of every document you print and have exhausted all other explanations, check the printer Properties to see whether there is a “separator page” option that has been enabled.
