3 Simple Methods on How to Delete a Page in Google Docs

Method 1:

Open Google Docs document where there is a page you want to delete
Select the excess text or other elements

Press Backspace or Delete on the keyboard. The text is removed along with the extra pages

Method 2:

Option number 2 is to get rid of extra empty lines or page breaks left.

Put a mouse cursor at the end of the blank space
Press Backspace or Delete as many times as it takes to remove all the excess

You can highlight the entire empty space with a double mouse click and drag the cursor up until you reach your text

Then delete it with a single button press (Backspace or Delete). The blank space is deleted with the remaining blank page

Method 3:

The remaining third option means to adjust the document’s margins if the previous ways didn’t work that means they just may be too big.

Go to File on the top toolbar and press it
Drag the cursor down to the Page Setup and click it

The values here may be just too big, so you want to reduce them to, let’s say, 1 inch for all margins, for example. You can easily customize the values for the margins

And then press OK to apply

2 Simple Methods to Add a Page on Google Docs

Method 1:

Open your document (the file where you need to add a page)

To add more pages, put your mouse cursor before the place where you want the page break to appear

Go to Insert on the top toolbar, down to the page break line, and then when the new window pops up, press Page break.

Method 2:

Or you can do the same with a button combination, so once again put the cursor before the place of the new break and press Ctrl + Enter on the keyboard at once, or Command + Enter on Mac

So, we sincerely hope that this tutorial is helpful for you and your understanding of how to add and delete pages on Google Docs. Study this topic carefully and start practicing. Good luck!
