Default How do you delete a blank page in the middle of a word document?

If you turn on your non-printing characters you will see why it's there.
Chances are there are multiple ¶ characters in there. Start deleting them.

Even if something was pasted and the pages just moved downward?

I would still suggest turning them on. You'll be surprised to see your
documents "dirty little secrets", like extra returns instead of using
spacing, multiple spaces, multiple tabs instead of setting the correct
length, etc.

Once you get used to seeing them, you may never want to return to the dark
side. ;-)

Kathy,
Some easy things to look at first – if you go into
“Normal” view. An ordinary page break that Word has put in
shows as a line of dots.
• you will be able to easily see if you have a manual page break
next to an ordinary page break (there will be a line of dots with the
word “Page break”). If you have, put the cursor on the
line and press delete to get rid of it.
• You might have a deliberate section break starting on an odd
(or even) page
• If you just see two ordinary page breaks together you will have
to search for a reason. eg. If you have two lines of dots together
followed by a header, then it’s possible that you have naturally
come to the end of a page but have a header which is preceded by a page
throw.
If the page breaks are widely separated you could have any number of
‘invisible’ characters – including carriage returns
– all of these should delete normally. If you go into Tools,
Options, View and tick “All” in formatting marks you will
be able to see them
Yours
Sandra

Posting in HTML causes ugly posts when you're reading in plain text mode.

For more on the non-printing characters, what they mean & how to use them
effectively you might find this link helpful:

http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/NonPrintChars.htm

Behavior of graphic objects v. the text flow of your document is a somewhat
more complex matter, but you can get a good start on it here as well as the
other links on the page:

http://word.mvps.org/faqs/drwgrphcs/Wrapping.htm

Pay particular attention to the distinction between In Line & "Floating"
graphics.
