Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to delete blank pages in Google Docs, based on the video above.
How to Delete a Blank Page in Google Docs
- Show non-printing characters: Go to View > Show non-printing characters. This will reveal paragraph marks, tabs, spaces, section breaks, and page breaks, which can all cause blank pages.
- Delete page breaks: If you see two page breaks together, select them and press the delete key. This should get rid of the blank page.
- Reinsert page breaks: If you need to reinstate a page break (e.g., so a heading appears at the top of the next page), place your cursor in front of the heading, go to Insert > Break > Page break.
- Close gaps caused by section breaks: If you have a heading at the top of the page and the rest of the page is blank because of a section break, click at the beginning of the next paragraph and press backspace, then enter. You may then need to reapply any necessary formatting.
- Delete section breaks: If you can’t select a section break, click at the end of the previous paragraph and press delete.
- Deal with blank pages at the end of a document: A blank page at the end of a document may be caused by a paragraph mark that belongs to a table. You can select the paragraph mark and reduce its font size to 1.
This tutorial should help you get rid of any unwanted blank pages in your Google Docs documents.
