Default Can't Get Rid of a Blank Page at End of Document

I know this is an old post but in case someone runs into it -
Another way that worked for me in Office 2007 - On your header and footer
properties, remove the checkbox for a different first page -

I've created a two page document that contains a simpl two column

text, spaces or other content and I can't seem to delete this page. I
did "Show/Hide" to see if I had any inadvertant page breaks or other
hidden marks that would cause this but I do not see anything. Can
someone suggest what I should try to delete this unwanted third page.

Thanks,

If the table goes all the way to the bottom of the second page, it's forcing
the document's final paragraph mark to the third page. You can usually get
it to drop back to the second page by formatting it to a 1 pt font size.

See "Blank paragraph at the end of the document" in
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/FitCopy.htm for info.
