To remove a page break, you first need to make it visible in your document, then select and delete it. This process is straightforward and helps refine your document's layout.
Steps to Delete a Page Break
Follow these steps to successfully remove an unwanted page break:
-
Reveal Formatting Marks:
- Navigate to the Home tab in your document editing application.
- Locate and click the Show/Hide button (often represented by a paragraph symbol, ¶). This action displays all non-printing characters, including page breaks, spaces, and paragraph marks, making it easier to pinpoint the page break you intend to remove.
-
Select the Page Break:
- Once visible, a page break will appear as a distinct line, often labeled "Page Break."
- Double-click directly on this "Page Break" line to select it. This highlights the break, indicating it's ready for an action.
-
Delete the Page Break:
- After successfully selecting the page break, press the Delete key on your keyboard.
- The page break will be removed, and the content that followed it will now flow continuously with the preceding text.
By following these steps, you can easily manage and refine the pagination of your document, ensuring a smooth and continuous flow of text.
