Step 1: Open Your Document
The first step in deleting a page from Word is to open your document. You can do this by clicking on the file tab and selecting “open” or by double-clicking on the document in your file explorer. Once your document is open, you can proceed with deleting the page you no longer need.
Step 2: Locate the Page You Want to Delete
Before you can delete a page from Word, you need to locate the page you want to delete. You can do this by scrolling through your document or by using the navigation pane. To access the navigation pane, click on the “view” tab and select “navigation pane.” This will open a pane on the left side of your screen that shows you a thumbnail view of your document.
Step 3: Select the Page You Want to Delete
Once you have located the page you want to delete, you need to select it. You can select the entire page by clicking anywhere on the page or by using the “select” tool. To use the “select” tool, click on the “home” tab and select “select” from the toolbar. From there, you can choose “select all” or “select page” to highlight the page you want to delete.
Step 4: Delete the Page
With the page selected, you can now delete it. To delete the page, simply press the “delete” key on your keyboard or right-click on the page and select “delete.” This will remove the page from your document.
Step 5: Adjust Your Document
After deleting a page from Word, you may need to adjust your document to ensure that it still looks the way you want it to. You can do this by adjusting the formatting of your document or by adding new content to fill in any gaps.
