How do you delete a page of content in a Word 2007 document?
I have tried to follow the instructions in the help section but I can not
seem to be able to delete a whole page. I have several pages in the working document that have been refined later in the document and I need to go back and remove the pages. I hate to go through and delete each item on the page since I am wary of losing the formatting I have done in the pages after the ones to be deleted. THanks! |

How do you delete a page of content in a Word 2007 document?
Unlike Publisher, Word isn't a page-oriented editor. So, how you delete a
"page" would depend on how that page is created. If the document is a one-section document, then a "page" is simply all the text that happens to appear on a given page. The "page" contents will change if you add or delete text above that page. Deleting a "page" is simply a matter of selecting everything from the top of the page to the bottom and tapping the Delete key. In all this... it helps you get a better handle on what you're working with if you are displaying non-printing formatting marks. Press Ctrl+Shift+8 to toggle them on if they're not already displayed. If the page is there because of one or more section breaks, then it's potentially more complicated because the formatting for that page--if different from the rest of the document--might be stored in a section break. In this case, you would want to take a look at any page-related formatting that might be different in the different section, and to delete the next-page section break that contains the formatting that's associated with the page you want to delete, along with the contents of that page. As a general rule, if I wanted to delete such a page, I would select from the top of the page down to and including the section break at the bottom of that page, and tap the delete key. If the document contains plain page breaks, they're less of a problem than section breaks. I would use the same technique, however, and select from the top of the page down to and including any physical page break at the bottom of the page, and tap the delete key. Keep in mind that if something horrible or unexpected happens, you can always press Ctrl+Z (UnDo) to reverse the deletion and try something different. If this doesn't help...It would help if you could describe the contents of your document and any section or page breaks it contains, as well as which Help instructions you're following. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Author of the Word 2007 Bible Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along.

Ah, sheesh! That's in the same category with "Click and type," I guess.
