Blank pages can be pesky in Google Docs. They often appear due to hidden formatting or accidental insertions. Here’s a clear explanation and the most direct way to delete them:
The most common and effective method is:
If that doesn’t work, the blank page is likely caused by something less obvious:
Hidden Characters: Go to View > Show nonprinting characters. This reveals hidden symbols like ¶ (pilcrow) for paragraph breaks, → (right arrow) for tabs, or spaces. Delete these symbols, especially at the beginning of the blank page.
Page/Section Breaks: Go to View > Show print layout (or Show section breaks). This shows dotted lines representing page or section breaks. Place your cursor before the dotted line and press Delete.
Margins: Extremely large margins can sometimes create extra pages. As a last resort, go to File > Page setup and slightly reduce your left and right margins. This is less common but worth checking.
