Hi sidcliffe

You need to select the text you don't need, and then press Delete. The
easiest way to select a lot of text is to click where you want to start
selecting, use the mouse scroll wheel or the scroll bars on the side of the
screen to move to where you want to end selecting, hold down Shift and then
click with the mouse.

Hope this helps.

Yes, Shauna's advice will work, why would she say otherwise?

Turn on the ShowAll button and I bet you will find the pages full of blank
paragraphs or page breaks. The ShowAll command shortcut is Control+Shift+*.

Because Word doesn't know what a page is, that's why. Blank pages are
created by text, even if that text consists of places where you hit return
and typed no letters, thus creating empty paragraphs. Then the empty
paragraphs create the page. Word has no easy way to say "select this page",
you have to select the text.
