I have a document with headers & footers (different header for first page). I
ended up with an extra page in the document and I can't delete it without
deleting my headers and footers at the same time.

Data for headers and footer is 'stored' in the final paragraph mark of the
document: delete that and, as you observe, you delete the headers and
footers also.

If the superfluous page is a result of a string of empty paragraph marks,
try deleting all but the final one. Failing that, select the final paragraph
and format it so it fits onto the previous page: make sure it's not set to
'New page' with no space before or after, set the font size to 1 pt.

The headers and footers are stored in the final paragraph mark of the
document (or in section breaks, if you have any of those).

When you select the page to delete, make sure you don't select the
last paragraph mark. That's easiest to do if you display nonprinting
characters by clicking the ¶ button on the toolbar.

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BlankPage.htm for more
explanation.

I suspect a section break must have been involved in the deletion some way
or other because Word won't really let you delete the last paragraph mark
(it may appear that you've deleted it, but the section formatting it
contains will be transferred up the line somehow, and you can't delete the
last paragraph mark after a table or section break.

I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough. It's not a page break but a section break I
can't delete. The paragraph marker is after the section break.

Got it. Thanks everyone for the help. The articles did it.

You have to be in NORMAL VIEW to delete a section break, I found after much hair pulling, trying to delete one in Page Layout View.

You *can* delete it in Page/Print Layout view, but it's certainly a lot
easier to see in Normal view.
