In it the Page Setup box brings up a box with Page Attributes and Microsoft Word as the only two options. Neither offer any solution. I've tried to delete everything between the two chapters, then Insert a Page Break. All that happens is that it inserts both a Page Break AND a Section Break. I've googled all over the place with no result. If None of that Works, Look at Your Section Breaks. Next Page, Odd Page, and Even Page section breaks may create a new page in Word. If your empty page occurs at the end of your document and you have a section break there, you can place your cursor directly before the section break and press Delete to delete it. That should remove the blank page. Removing manual page breaks in Word is actually quite simple to do. If you’re using the desktop version of Word, select the Home tab on the ribbon bar. Click the ¶ icon (paragraph icon) in the. On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click Show/Hide to show all formatting marks including page breaks. Double-click the page break to select it, then press Delete. Click Show/Hide again to hide the remaining formatting marks in the document.
You can easily add or delete a page in your documents with Word for Mac.

What's causing the blank page
Turn on paragraph marks to see what’s causing the blank page by clicking Show all nonprinting characters on the Standard toolbar.
Extra paragraphs
Deleting Word Document
If you have extra, blank, paragraphs at the end of your document you’ll see empty paragraph marks (¶) on the blank page. Select them and then remove them by pressing the Delete key on your keyboard.
Manual page break
If the empty page is the result of a manual page break, you can select the page break and press Delete to remove it.
This is one of the most common causes of an unwanted blank page in the middle of a document too.
Section break
New Page, Odd Page and Even Page section breaks may create a new page in Word. If your empty page occurs at the end of your document and you have a section break there, you can select the section break and press Delete to remove it. That should remove the blank page.
Caution: If a section break is causing a blank page in the middle of a document, removing the section break can cause formatting issues. If you intended for the content that follows that point to have different formatting, then keep the section break. You don’t want to delete that section break because that would cause the pages before the section break to take on the formatting of the pages after the section break. You can, however, change the section break to a Continuous section break, which will preserve the formatting changes without inserting a blank page.
To change a section break to a continuous section break:
- Click on the page AFTER the section break you wish to change.
- Click the Format menu, then Document.
- On the Document dialog box change the Section start to Continuous.
- Click OK
Table at the end of the document
If you still have an unwanted blank page at the end of your document, then it’s likely that the preceding page has a table that goes all the way to the bottom of it. Word requires an empty paragraph after the table and if your table goes all the way to the bottom of the page the empty paragraph will be pushed onto the next page. You won’t be able to delete that empty paragraph mark.
Note: Many resume templates are formatted with full-page tables
The easiest way to resolve this is to simply hide the empty paragraph at the end of the document.
