How to Delete the Current Page or Specific Pages in a Word Document

AuthorSunLast modified

Fast, reliable methods for removing the current page, a specific page number, ranges, and blank pages — plus one-click tools in Kutools for Word.

Deleting pages in Word can feel confusing because Word is built around paragraphs, sections, and breaks—not literal “pages.” Below are several reliable methods to remove the current page, a specific page (by number), a range of pages, and blank pages. You’ll also see how Kutools for Word makes these jobs one-click simple, with extra tools and an AI assistant to speed up your writing.

Delete the current page

Method 1 — Word (built-in): Delete the current page by direct selection

When you just need to remove the page you’re looking at, the most predictable approach is to manually select everything on that page and press Delete.

Steps

  1. Switch to View > Print Layout so you can clearly see page boundaries.

  2. Place the cursor at the first character on the page you want to remove.

  3. Scroll to the end of the same page, hold Shift, and click right after the last character on that page. Tip: If the page ends with a table, click at the very end of the last cell.

  4. Press Delete.

  5. If the page doesn’t fully disappear, turn on ¶ Show/Hide (Ctrl+Shift+8) and delete any leftover page breaks or extra paragraph marks on that page.

Works best when: the page has straightforward content and you want full control over what’s being removed.

Method 2 — Kutools for Word: Delete the Current Page (one-click)

If you delete pages frequently—or your documents use complex layouts and section breaks—the Kutools button is faster and safer than manual selection.

Steps

  1. Install Kutools for Word (free 60-day trial).

  2. Open your file and go to the Kutools Plus tab.

  3. Click Delete Page > Delete the Current Page. Done.

Or you can right-click and select "Delete Current Page" to quickly remove the current page.

Why people love this

  • One click—no selecting, no dialogs.
  • Robust with complex pages (tables, images, headers/footers, section breaks).
  • Saves time in daily editing.

🌿 Good to know: Kutools for Word offers 100+ smart features to make your Word work easier.

  • Copy the current page or copy specified pages
  • Delete blank pages in one click
  • Select the current page or specified pages instantly
  • Includes an AI Assistant to draft, rewrite, summarize, and translate text — all inside Word.

Recommendation: Try the one-click workflow — it’s the easiest way to manage pages at scale.

Delete the specific pages

Method 1 — Word (built-in): Delete a specific page by number

When someone asks, "Please remove page 5," jump there first, then select that page’s content and delete.

Steps

  1. Press Ctrl+G (or F5) to open Find & Replace > Go To.

  2. Choose Page, type the page number (e.g., 5), and press Enter to jump there.

  3. Close the dialog.

    go-to-dialog

  4. Select everything on that page (use the Shift+click technique).

  5. Press Delete.

    select-and-delete

  6. Turn on ¶ Show/Hide if needed and remove any page/section breaks left behind.

Tip: For long documents, use View > Navigation Pane > Pages to see thumbnails; click the page you want, then select and delete.

When you must remove a continuous block (e.g., pages 2–5):

Steps

  1. Go to page 2 (Ctrl+G → Page → 2 → Enter → Close).

  2. Place the cursor at the very start of page 2.

  3. Go to page 5, scroll to the very end of that page.

  4. Hold Shift and click after the last character on page 5.

  5. Press Delete.

Note: This works, but it’s tedious. For multiple ranges or recurring tasks, Kutools’ Delete Specified Pages is much faster.

Method 2 — Kutools for Word: Delete Specified Pages (multiple pages or ranges at once)

If you need to remove several pages or page ranges (e.g., 2, 4–6) in a single action, Kutools does it in one pass.

Steps

  1. Open the Kutools Plus tab.

  2. Click Delete Page > Delete Specified Pages.

  3. Enter the page numbers/ranges, e.g., 2,4-6.

  4. Confirm to remove them all at once.

Advantages
  • Batch deletion—no repeating manual steps.
  • Far less error-prone than selecting pages by hand.
  • Ideal for cleanup after reviews, merges, or template work.

Delete the empty pages

  • One-click cleanup across the whole document—no manual scanning for ¶ marks or breaks.
  • Targets common causes of blank pages (extra paragraph marks, page/section breaks, trailing table paragraphs).
  • Speeds up final formatting before export or print.
