Pages and page numbering

I have a document tenplate I am trying to modfy. I had deleted some information that was set up in a table. This has taken the document from 3 pages to 2 pages. However the third page is still present (albeit blank). How can I remove this blank page. Also, in the footer I need the page numbering to change from 2 of 2 as opposed to 2 of 3. Assume this will auto update once I manage to delete the blank third page. Thanks,

Neil.

RE: Pages and page numbering

Hi Neil,

Thank you for your question regarding the removal of blank pages and page numbering.
I think the following will solve your problem.

Open the document and press CTRL + SHIFT + *. This will allow you to see all hidden formatting symbols.
You will probably notice that there are symbols even on the third page. This is in fact the reason why there is a third page. So, delete the symbols like you would normal text and you will find the third page no longer exists and that the page numbering reflects that.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Cindy
