Sometimes paragraphs and blank spaces appear in text files, which subsequently create a blank sheet at the end of the document or in the middle of it. It, in turn, is displayed in all parameters and settings of the file. This does not create any particular inconvenience, but a document with such formatting looks, frankly, sloppy. What to do if you notice such an error, but do not know how to remove the page in Word? Performing the following steps will help bring the overall look of the document in order.

Method number 1:

• Press Ctrl+End. Using this combination in Microsoft Word will move the mouse cursor to the last sheet of the file.
• Then press the Delete or Backspace button.
• The blank sheet will disappear. If there were any words or symbols on it, then they will be deleted first of all.

Method number 2:

This method, based on the removal of non-printing characters, allows you to remove a blank page in all versions of Microsoft Word:

Separately, it is worth noting "Page breaks" - they must also be removed using Microsoft Word if you do not need blank sheets in the text.

OpenOffice Writer is a fairly convenient free text editor that is gaining more and more popularity among users every day. Like many text editors, it also has its own characteristics. Let's try to figure out how you can delete extra pages in it.

• Open the document where you want to delete the page or pages

• In the main menu of the program on the tab View select item Nonprinting characters. This will allow you to see special characters that are not displayed in normal mode. An example of such a character would be "Paragraph Mark"
• Delete any extra characters on the blank page. This can be done using either the key backspace or key Delete. After completing these steps, the blank page will be deleted automatically.

Deleting a page of text in OpenOffice Writer

• Delete unwanted text with a key backspace or Delete
• Repeat the steps in the previous case

It is worth noting that there are cases when there are no extra non-printable characters in the text, but the page is not deleted. In such a situation, it is necessary in the main menu of the program on the tab View select item Web page mode. At the beginning of a blank page, press the key Delete and switch back to Print layout

I think anyone who at least sometimes works with electronic documents has found himself in such a difficult situation when a blank page is formed in the middle of the text, which is sometimes difficult to get rid of. In today's issue, I will tell you how to delete a blank page in Word. The instruction will be applicable not only when working with the Microsoft Office Word program, but also in other text editors, you can delete blank sheets, in the same Open Office Writer, Libre Office Writer, WordPad, etc.

And we're starting!

Reasons for blank pages

Often it is not at all clear to us why a blank page appeared in a Word text document. To swim in this moment, like a fish in water, I advise you to read this post to the end. The first thing you need to do is turn on the display of paragraph characters. This function is available in all versions of Microsoft Word, with its help we can figure out how to delete a page in Word.

Step instruction:

Now let's move on to solving the problem. We will gradually discuss the causes of the blank page and how to get rid of it.

How to delete a blank page in word

The most elementary way to delete a blank page is to use the keyboard keys "Delete" or "Backspace". If for some reason your keyboard is broken, you can use the virtual one, for more information on how to make it appear on the screen, read the article:

So, to get rid of the last sheet of the document, place the mouse cursor at the end of the text, after the point of the last sentence.

In the next step, click on the Delete key until the blank page disappears. If for some reason the page is not removed, then take it for granted. I am sure that the last blank page will not disturb you in any way. When printing, it is always possible to specify not “All pages”, but from 1 to the penultimate one (number). So, this shouldn't be a problem.

It is much more unpleasant when a blank page is located inside the text. In this case, you also need to set the mouse cursor in front of the empty passage, that is, place the cursor after the last sentence, and then there is an empty space. Then click on the Delete button and thereby raise the text.

But here, too, a difficulty arises. Often students and many other text editor users, have already pre-arranged the subheadings, someone even has the content and as a result, everything shifts. Bottom line: It takes a lot of time to align the subheadings and edit the content, if it is spelled out. To prevent this from happening, I advise you to monitor the resulting empty areas.

Thematic releases:

Sometimes a blank page appears when the printer prints, but no gaps are visible in the document. In this case, you are having problems with the printing device, perhaps settings. This, however, is not scary. One of the settings that can cause such a jamb is that the print of a separator between different tasks is set in the parameters.

How to remove an extra paragraph

A blank page may appear after you press Enter. It is enough to click on this button several times and a new page will quickly form. Therefore, when creating extra empty lines, press the return key Enter, that is, the Delete key.

To see paragraphs in Microsoft Office Word, on the main toolbar ("Home" tab), in the "Paragraph" block, click on the "Show all characters" button. Do everything as shown in the screenshot below. This can be done in all versions of Microsoft Word.

After the paragraph mark appears on the page, the icon is: ¶. You will need to select them all and erase them. As a result, the space will narrow and the extra page will disappear.

How to remove a page break

It's not uncommon to have to delete a blank page because of inserted breaks. If the user made a break and only then added text in front of it, then the separator will slide down to the next sheet.

How to delete an empty sheet with a gap in Word: just select the separator character and erase it with the "Delete" key.

Section break

White spaces can form sections, or rather their separators.

If there is a break just before the last page, then you can remove it simply, just like a page break.

If an extra sheet in the Word is formed in the middle or somewhere in the middle of the text, then deleting an empty sheet will cause the bottom of the text to fail, that is, the sections will not be located in their places. You will have to align everything below the deleted blank page. I already mentioned this above.

To avoid this, change the break type:

• Position the mouse cursor after the break.
• Open the advanced settings of the "Options" section in the "Layout" tab, to do this, use the button in the lower corner.
• In the "Section" block, on the "Start a section" item, set the "On the current page" parameter.

As a result, you can not only delete the page in the middle of the document, but also keep the subheadings and paragraphs stable below the blank sheet.

Blank page due to tables

When creating a table, a blank page will be created at the end of the text document. In the Word, after the table, a paragraph mark is always placed, which is not possible to remove, due to established standards.

If the table is inserted at the end of the sheet, then the paragraph mark will be transferred to the next page.

To prevent a new sheet from forming, you need to know how to delete a sheet in Word after the table:

• First, select the paragraph character and open the Font tool - hold down the key combination Ctrl + D or select the item in the context menu of the right mouse button.
• Section "Modification", in it check the box "Hidden".
• Then hide the display of hidden characters in the "Paragraph" block. Ready!

Conclusion

Now you know how to delete a blank page in Word. We have analyzed a variety of cases of the appearance of an empty sheet, therefore, I strongly hope that there will definitely not be any questions on this topic.

In the case of working with text editors Liber Office, Open Office or WordPad, you can delete the page using the Delete key. Other tools, such as those in Word, are missing from Writer and WorPad.

You can also use an online text editor if necessary. Microsoft has been providing this feature for several years now.

Text editor/processor Writer

Basic text editing functions

Working with Basic Functions Writer- entering text, moving through text, selecting a block, cutting, copying or pasting it - is almost the same as working in any of the well-known word processors with a graphical interface (for example, for Windows or Macintosh).

View modes

IN Open Office Writer There are two modes for viewing and editing text on the screen - "page layout" And "markup online". When using page markup, the page is displayed on the screen in the same form in which it should be printed. If it is installed "markup online", the text is shown without pagination and with the width of the entire window Writer- i.e. the way text is normally displayed in web browsers. Mode "markup online" it is convenient when preparing documents distributed in electronic form, as well as when writing large texts. Switching between modes "page layout" And "markup online" made in the main menu - item "View", then "Markup online". In addition, on the panel located to the left of the text, there is an icon that allows you to switch the view mode.

Scale

Writer allows you to set the scale (zoom) of text viewing in percent. To change the scale, select the item in the main menu. "View", then "Scale". In the window that appears, you can choose from several fixed scale options, or by selecting the item "Smooth", specify an arbitrary scale value.

Then you should press the button OK. The new scale will be set. The scale selection window can also be called up by double-clicking the left mouse button on the scale value, which is shown in the status bar at the bottom of the window Writer.

Spellchecking

Writer allows you to check spelling both during typing (underlining words with errors) and when calling the check function. To enable or disable underlining of misspelled words, select the item in the main menu "Service", then "Spelling", "auto-check".

When a word is underlined, you can choose from the correct options offered by the system or add this word to . To do this, right-click on the word. A menu will appear with the correct options, as well as the option "Add". To check the spelling of the entire text, select the item in the main menu "Service", then "Spelling", "Examination", or press the key. The verification process will begin.

When a word is found that is not in the dictionary, a window appears "Spelling" .

In this window you can specify whether this word should be corrected (you can choose one of the options offered by the system or enter your own), replace it with the selected option in the entire text, skip it (leaving it unchanged) or skip it in the entire text. Button "Add" allows you to add the given word to the dictionary.

Word completion

Interesting feature Open Office Writer- auto-completion of words. If you have typed the first few letters of a word that you have previously typed, Writer automatically substitutes this word. If the suggested option doesn't work, just keep typing. And if it fits, press - the word will be typed in full, and you can continue typing from the next word. Sometimes this feature can significantly save time, and with normal typing, the behavior Writer does not change. If auto-completion annoys you, you can turn it off. If the system often offers a specific word that does not suit you, you can delete this particular word. To perform these operations, select the item in the main menu. "Service", then "AutoCorrect/AutoFormat..." and click on the item "Word Completion" at the top of the window

To turn off auto-completion, click to uncheck the checkbox in the paragraph "Complete Words". To prevent the system from suggesting a particular word, you should find it in the list on the right side of the window (it is sorted alphabetically), select it with a mouse click and delete it by clicking the button "Delete Entry".

Search and Replace

Like any modern text editor, Open Office Writer allows you to search in the text and replace the found sequence of characters with another one. To search or replace, select the item in the main menu "Edit", then "Find and Replace...", or press the keys. The Find and Replace window will appear.

In it, you can enter the character string to be found, and, if necessary, another one to replace it with. Button "To find" finds the given string. Button "Replace" replaces the found string with a new one and finds where this string appears in the text next time (new button click "Replace" will replace and search for the next line, etc.). To replace one line with another in the entire text, use the button "Replace All".

Basic text formatting

As with most well-known word processors, text formatting in Writer produced separately by characters and by paragraphs. Character format includes font, size, underline/italics, etc.; to the paragraph format - indents (horizontal and vertical), alignment, etc.

Character formatting

To change the format of characters (letters), select these characters. If you specify a character format change without selecting characters, it will apply to the characters you enter immediately after (without moving the cursor).

The simplest change in formatting - enabling/disabling bold text, italics and underlining - is done by clicking on the corresponding buttons on the toolbar ([W], [K], [H]). To change the font, you can select it from the list on the toolbar.

For more complex formatting of characters, select the item in the main menu. "Format", then "Signs". A window will appear "Sign" .

In this window, by switching the items in the upper part of the window, you can configure all possible formatting options related to characters. It is important that the language of the text is also set in this window. IN Open Office Writer language is a property of a sign. The spell check of each word is done according to the language specified for it.

Paragraph formatting

parform To change the format of a paragraph, just place the cursor in this paragraph. To change the formatting of several paragraphs at once, select them. Alignment is changed by clicking on the corresponding buttons on the toolbar.

For more complex formatting of a paragraph, select the item in the main menu "Format", then "Paragraph". A window will appear "Paragraph" .

In this window, by switching the items in the upper part of the window, you can set all possible formatting options related to the paragraph. In particular, you can specify the design of paragraphs in the form of a numbered or unnumbered list (paragraph "Numbering").

Formatting text with styles

Like many common office word processors, Open Office Writer allows you to format text using styles. The main type of styles are paragraph styles.

The paragraph style determines the formatting of both the paragraph itself (indentation, etc.) and the formatting of the characters in the paragraph (font, size, etc.).

If a paragraph is formatted with a style, changing the style automatically changes the formatting of the paragraph. This is the first benefit of using styles. For example, if you want to change the font and size of all the headings in your text, without styling, you would have to make changes to each heading separately. But if all headings are formatted with styles "Heading 1", "Heading 2" etc., it is enough to change only these styles.

In addition, paragraph styles allow you to make logical markup of text, i.e. indicate the boundaries of sections, chapters, etc., as well as special types of paragraphs (for example, quotations or examples). The beginning of sections and chapters is determined using headings highlighted with styles "Heading 1", "Heading 2" etc. Writer can automatically generate a table of contents of the text, specifying paragraphs with these styles as section titles. There is also the possibility of automatic numbering of sections.

In addition to paragraph styles, character styles are supported. A character style determines the formatting of characters without affecting the formatting of paragraphs. Character styles are convenient to use, for example, to highlight quotes in a text.

A window is used to work with styles. "Stylist" .

To call this window, select the item in the main menu. "Format", then "Stylist", or press the key. Initially in the window "Stylist" a list of paragraph styles is displayed.

Applying Styles

To specify the formatting style of a paragraph, place the cursor on this paragraph, and then select the desired style by clicking in the window "Stylist" . (If the cursor is on an empty paragraph, the style will still be assigned, and the text that follows will be formatted with that style.)

To specify a style for several paragraphs at once, you need to select these paragraphs, and then select the desired style by clicking in the window "Stylist" .

To apply character styles, switch the window "Stylist" to character style list mode. To do this, left-click on the icon with the letter [A] in this window. After that, to format a section of text using a character style, you should select this section, and then click in the window "Stylist" specify the desired style. If you specify a character style without selection, it will apply to the characters you enter immediately after (without moving the cursor). To switch window "Stylist" back to the paragraph style list mode, you should select the icon with a letter similar to [P] in this window.

Editing Styles

To change any of the styles (paragraph or characters), select this style in the window "Stylist" "Change". The style editing window will appear.

The options at the top of the window allow you to change various character formatting properties and (for a paragraph style) paragraph formatting properties. Paragraph "Organization" used to set style properties. Field "Name" defines the name of the style. Field "Associated with" specifies the base style for this style; if the base style changes, similar changes are automatically made to this style.

There is also a field for paragraph styles "Next Style". In it, you can specify which style the next paragraph is automatically formatted with (when entering text), if the previous paragraph is formatted with this style. So, the heading style is usually set to the following style "Main text"; this allows you to immediately enter text after entering the title, without wasting time choosing a style. To create a new style, right-click in the window "Stylist" and select from the menu that appears "Create". The style editing window will appear, in which you can specify all the necessary style properties. If the window "Stylist" is in paragraph style list mode, a paragraph style is created; if it is in character style list mode, then a character style is created.

In addition, the system allows you to format a paragraph in the usual way, and then automatically create a style with exactly this formatting. To do this, after formatting the paragraph, click in the window "Stylist" the second icon from the right in the upper right corner. The system will prompt you to enter the name of the new style, after which it will be created and appear in the list. You can also delete the previously created style. To do this, select a style in the window "Stylist" click, then press the right mouse button and select the item from the menu that appears. "Delete". However, the system does not allow you to delete styles that are present in Writer initially.

Page Formatting

Writer allows you to customize the page size, as well as the header and footer (i.e. lines at the top and bottom of the page) and other page formatting properties. Moreover, for different pages, you can set different formatting using page styles.

Setting the page format

To set the page format, include a header or footer, etc., call the main menu item "Format", then "Page". The page style editing window will appear.

In this window, you can set, in particular:

• Page size (item "Page" at the top of the window)
• Pagination style - Arabic numerals, Roman numerals, etc. Paragraph "Page", field "Markup Settings" - "Format";
• Header and footer inclusion and indentation - paragraphs "Page header" And "Footer". In particular, in any of these items, you can turn off the "tick" ; this will create different headers and footers for even and odd pages.;
• Inclusion and view of the frame around the page - item "Framing";
• Formatting text on a page into multiple columns "Columns".

After setting the desired page format, click the button "OK".

Pagination

To enable page numbering, you must first enable the required header or footer (header or footer). By turning on the header, you can edit it (in the text view mode "Page layout") as plain text.

With the cursor in the header, select the item in the main menu "Insert", then "Field", then "Page number". The page number will appear. On each page, it will automatically appear and be set to the desired value.

To move the page number (together with the rest of the header text) to the left corner, center or right corner, place the cursor in the header and switch the paragraph alignment (left, center or right) with the corresponding button on the toolbar Writer.

If the number should be located differently on the even and odd page, in the page style editing window, disable the “tick” for the header and footer in which the page number is located "Same content left/right". After that, arrange the number as needed in the header on one even and one odd page.

Page styles

In many cases, you want to provide different formatting for different pages - for example, turn off the page number for the cover page.

Open Office Writer allows you to set completely independent formatting for different pages - up to a different sheet size. For this, page styles are used. (Using page styles is a fairly complex operation that is beyond the scope of this quickstart.)

Working with text chapters

If chapter headings are marked with row styles "Header", with the level of headings reflected in the use of styles (i.e., for example, top-level sections use "Heading 1", for subsections - "Heading 2" etc.), Open Office Writer allows you to automatically number chapters, as well as create a table of contents.

Chapter numbering

To automatically number chapters, select the item in the main menu "Service", then "Chapter Numbering". A window will appear "chapter numbering" .

Here you can set the chapter numbering. The right part of the window shows an example of numbering in the form that is currently configured. You can find the numbering option you want by trying different settings and watching the example change.

Table of contents generation

To automatically create a table of contents, position the cursor at the point in the text where the table of contents should be. Select the item in the main menu "Insert", then "Pointers", then "Pointers...". A window will appear "Insert Pointer"

In this window, you can insert various indexes, but the initially proposed option is just the table of contents. In field "Rate to Level" You can specify which level headings to include in the table of contents.

For example, a value of 3 will include all paragraphs with the style "Heading 1", "Heading 2" And "Heading 3". After pressing the button OK the system will generate a table of contents and place it where the cursor was.

Inserting pictures

Open Office Writer allows you to insert pictures (taken from files) into the text and specify their location, as well as whether they will be “wrapped around” by text. To insert a picture into text, select the item in the main menu. "Insert", then "Picture", then "From a file..." A window for inserting a picture from a file will appear.

Here you can select the desired file.

When selecting a file with a mouse click (if the checkbox is enabled) "View") it is previewed in the right part of the window. To insert the selected picture into text, click the button "Open".

By clicking on the picture with the right mouse button, you can call up the picture settings menu. Using this menu, you can set, among others:

• How the figure will be placed in the text (paragraph "Binding") - at a fixed position in relation to the page, to a certain paragraph, to a certain character, or as a character. If the picture is positioned "as a character", it is inserted into the line in the same way as a regular character (but its size does not change when the font size is changed).;
• Will the text “flow around” the drawing, and if so, in what way (paragraph "Wrap Around").

Saving and reading files

Open Office Writer saves and reads files in .sxw format. This format is fully published and based on open standards. In addition, it allows you to save and read files in .rtf (Rich Text Format), .doc (Microsoft Word 95 or 97/2000/XP) and other formats.

Saving a file

To save the current text on disk as a file, select the item in the main menu "File", then "Save", or press the keys. If the file has already been saved, it will be saved again with the same name. If it has not yet been saved, a window for choosing the name and format of the saved file will appear.

In this window, you can select the desired directory to save the file, specify the file name, and select its format (type). After specifying the file name and type, click the button "Save". The file will then be written to disk.

Saving a file with a new name

If you are working with a file that has already been saved and want to save it under a different name (or in a different format - for example, .rtf or .doc), select the item in the main menu "File", then "Save as…" A file name selection window will appear (see \fig.ris23) and you can specify a new file name and format.

Reading a file

In this window, you can find the desired directory and select the file you want to open in it. After selecting the desired file by clicking on the button "Open". Writer reads the file and, if the reading was successful, you will be able to view and edit the contents of this file.

HTML Editing

Editing HTML files (format for WWW pages) in openoffice very similar to editing texts in Open Office Writer. (In fact, editing HTML is done exactly Writer operating in a special mode). This allows you to create WWW pages without special training, as well as easily convert text documents into WWW pages. You can use almost all the techniques described above for editing HTML documents to edit HTML documents. Writer.

Basic HTML editing

HTML documents can be formatted in the same way as regular documents. However, the resulting WWW pages will be quite inconvenient to view. For correct formatting of HTML documents, you should use the special paragraph styles that are automatically offered in the window. "Stylist" when editing such a document.

Style body text "Main text", for headings - group styles "Header", for quotes - "Quote" etc. You can specify the alignment of paragraphs, as well as highlight sections of text in bold, italic, or underline. But changing the font is very undesirable - this can lead to difficulties for some users when viewing your page.

Link building

As you know, an important element of HTML is the ability to create links (hyperlinks) to other documents.

In this window, specify the document to which the link is made, as well as the text of the link. The text of the link is indicated in the field "Text". The method of specifying the document to which the link is made is switched in the left part of the window.

When choosing an item « » it is possible to enter a link to a document on the Internet in full format (URL). Paragraph "Letters and Messages" allows you to describe a link to an email address (mailto) or a newsgroup usenet(news). Selecting an item "Document", you can insert a link to an existing document on disk. It should be noted that although in the field "Way" the full path to the document is indicated, in reality, if the documents are in the same directory, a link is created only to the name of the document - therefore, if both files are transferred to the Internet, the link continues to work.

Finally, point "New document" allows you to create a link to a document that has not yet been created on disk. The system provides the ability to immediately create this document (to do this, select the item "Edit Now" at the top of the window) or create a link without creating a document (paragraph "edit later"). It is important to correctly select the file type from the list (for example, "HTML Document") instead of just specifying the full filename. When the data for the link is entered, click the button "Apply". The link will be created.

To edit a link, place the cursor on it and select the item in the main menu "Insert", then "Hyperlink". The same window will appear (see \figris25), but filled in, with the data of the specified link. In this window, you can make the necessary changes and click the button "Apply".

Saving and Reading HTML Files

Saving and reading when editing HTML files is done in exactly the same way as in Writer. It is important that images are not saved as part of HTML files. Therefore, when transferring a file to another computer or to the Internet, they may be lost. Even if both the file and the pictures for it are transferred to another computer, but they are in different directories, the pictures may disappear from the document. To prevent this from happening, it's best to keep any pictures you insert into a document in the same directory as the document itself, and transfer them to another computer or to the Internet along with the document. It should be taken into account that openoffice can read almost any file in HTML format, but Russian letters will not always be displayed correctly. This is not a mistake in openoffice, and the disadvantage of such files is that they do not specify or incorrectly specify the encoding of Russian letters. Instead of koi8-r, the encoding of Russian letters in this file should be specified; the most common encodings are koi8-r, windows-1251 and utf8.

HTML Source Editing

openoffice allows you to switch from editing the content of an HTML document in visual mode (that is, in the form in which it will be visible in a web browser) to working with HTML source text. This can be useful in a number of cases where you need to check and correct the HTML text itself. To enable or disable the HTML source text editing mode, select the item in the main menu "View", then "HTML Source".

Creating WWW Pages with Autopilot

openoffice contains "Autopilot WWW-pages", which allows you to create a standard and fairly beautiful WWW page in a short time and without additional effort. To take advantage "Autopilot", select the item in the main menu "File", then "Autopilot", then "Web page..." A window will appear "Web autopilot" .

By choosing the field values, you can immediately see on the screen how the created page will look. After selecting the desired view, press the button "Ready". You will be able to edit an HTML document that immediately has the desired appearance. Now it is enough to fill it with information.
