Deleting a page from Word may seem cumbersome at first, but it's actually quite simple. This practical tip shows you how to remove a page from your document.

Delete page in Word: Set draft view

When deleting a page, always make sure that you are in the draft view. In the draft view, a page break is marked with a paragraph mark. If not, follow these steps:

1. Go to "View" in the Word menu and look for "Draft".
2. Click on "Draft" and you are in the draft view.
3. If the paragraph mark is still not visible, open the menu again.
4. Click on "Start" there and then select "Paragraph".
5. Under "Paragraph" click on "Show / Hide".
