Go to the page. Define it. Press "Del".

If you have a lot of blank pages (how would that happen?)
deleting them all depends on what's on them and how they
were created. You might try this:

0. Make a backup copy of your original document and put it
in a safe place. (Give it a different name like
something-org.doc.)
1. Go to the beginning of your working document. Type
control-H. In "Find what" enter "^m" (without the quotes).
In "Replace with" enter "^p" (ditto). Click on "Replace all"
and keep clicking on it until Word says it found 0
replacements. (This gets rid of any forced page breaks.)
2. (Still at the beginning of the document.) In "Find what"
enter two blank spaces. In "Replace with" enter one blank
space. Click on "Replace all" and keep clicking on it until
Word says it found 0 replacements. (This gets rid of any
multiple spaces.)
3. (Still at the beginning of the document.) In "Find what"
enter one blank space and "^p" (without the quotes). Click
on "Replace all" etc. (This will get rid of any spaces
before a paragraph mark.)
4. (Still at the beginning of the document.) In "Find what"
enter "^p" (without the quotes) and enter one blank space.
Click on "Replace all" etc. (This will get rid of any spaces
after a paragraph mark.)
5. (Still at the beginning of the document.) In "Find what"
enter "^p^p^p" (without the quotes). Click on "Replace all"
etc. (This will get rid of situations where there are more
than two paragraph marks between paragraphs.)

This should get ride of any blank pages in your document.

A macro could probably be written that would do this.
