One click to delete current, specified, or blank pages in Word

Author: Siluvia Last Modified: 2025-08-06

When working with Word documents, you may occasionally need to remove unnecessary pages — such as a blank page caused by formatting, a page that’s no longer needed, or a range of pages you want to delete in bulk. Manually deleting these pages can be time consuming and error prone.

The Delete Page feature in Kutools for Word offers a quick one click solution. It allows you to delete the current page, specified pages, all blank pages, or only blank pages within a specified range — helping you keep your document clean and well organized.


Key advantages:

  • One click operation: Quickly delete a page without manually selecting its contents.
  • Multiple deletion modes: Delete the current page, specified pages, all blank pages, or blank pages within a range.
  • Easy to access: Available via both the Ribbon or the right click context menu.
  • Flexible range input: Supports page numbers and section specific ranges for precise control.

Delete the current page in a Word document

If you want to remove the page where your cursor is currently located, the "Delete Current Page" option lets you do it instantly. Regardless of whether the page contains text, images, or tables, this command deletes all its content in one click.

How to use

  1. Place the cursor anywhere on the page you want to delete.
  2. On the "Kutools" tab, click "Delete Current Page".
    Alternatively, you can right click anywhere in the document and choose "Delete Current Page (Kutools)" to remove the current page.

    Note: By default, the "Delete Current Page" command is available in the right click context menu. If you do not see it, open the Delete Page drop down menu on the Kutools tab and make sure the "Show Delete Current Page context menu item" option is checked.

Delete the specified pages in a Word document

If you need to delete multiple non adjacent pages, a specific range of pages, or even pages from specific sections, the Delete Specified Page option provides a flexible solution.

How to use:

  1. On the "Kutools" tab, click the drop down arrow under "Delete Page" and choose "Delete Specified Page".
  2. In the dialog box, enter the pages or ranges you want to delete, and then click "OK".
    • To delete a single page, enter the page number directly.

    • To delete multiple non-adjacent pages, enter the page numbers separated by commas, such as 1,3,5.

    • To delete a specific range of pages, enter the page range, such as 5-12.

    • To delete pages from a specific section (sections are defined by Section Breaks in Word), enter the section specific page numbers.
      For example, p1s1 means delete page 1 of section 1, and p1s3-p8s3 means delete pages from page 1 of section 3 to page 8 of section 3.

Delete blank pages in a Word document

Blank pages can be caused by page breaks, section breaks, or extra paragraph marks. Manually finding and removing them can be tedious. Kutools provides two efficient options to clear blank pages.

Delete all blank pages

Advantages:

  • Removes all blank pages in the document in one go.
  • Detects blank pages caused by various formatting elements.
  • Saves time compared to manual searching.

How to use:

  1. On the "Kutools" tab, click the drop down arrow under "Delete Page" and choose "Delete All Blank Pages".
  2. Kutools will automatically scan and remove all blank pages from the document. A "Kutools for Word" dialog box will then appear telling you the number of pages to delete — click "OK" to close it.

Delete blank pages only within interval

If you only want to remove blank pages within a specific range, the "Delete Blank Pages Within Interval" option lets you target exactly where to clean.

Advantages:

  • Deletes blank pages only in the specified page range.
  • Supports both page numbers and section specific inputs.
  • Prevents accidental deletion outside the target range.

How to use:

  1. On the "Kutools" tab, click the drop down arrow under "Delete Page" and choose "Delete Blank Pages Within Interval".

    • To delete blank pages from a specific section (sections are defined by Section Breaks in Word), enter the section specific page numbers.
      For example, p1s3-p8s3 means delete blank pages from page 1 of section 3 to page 8 of section 3.

  3. Kutools will delete only the blank pages within the specified range. And a "Kutools for Word" dialog box then appear telling you the number of pages to delete — click "OK" to close it.

Tip:

All deletion actions performed with the Delete Page feature can be undone. If you remove a page by mistake, simply press "Ctrl" + "Z" (or go to "Home" > "Undo") to restore it.
