Word includes a non-deleteable end-paragraph that sometimes gets pushed out to a new, blank page at the end of a document. The way to delete the page is to make the end-paragraph fit onto the preceding page. • Press Ctrl+Shift+8 (⌘+8 on a Mac) to show paragraph marks. • Select the paragraph mark. • Click inside the Font size box, type 01, and then press Enter. The paragraph now fits on the preceding page, removing the unwanted blank page.

• Press Ctrl+Shift+8 again to hide the paragraph marks (⌘+8 on a Mac).
