Re: delete an empty page?
Hi and welcome to the forum!
It depends. Place your cursor at the end of the blank page and hit the delete key until the page is deleted.
If it is after a table for example, and because of a page break, you've to decrease the font size of the paragraph after the table. There is also a trick: to set the character to hidden for that paragraph IIRC.
See also this query.
If nothing works, please upload a sample file (see How to attach a document here).
Please add [Solved] at the beginning of the title in your first post (top of the topic) with the edit button if your issue has been fixed.

Re: Delete an empty page?
Have tried deleting from last page but no result. There is no text on it. I can't upload an empty page. Can I?

We need a page in front and a page behind to see what is causing this.

Re: Delete an empty page?
I am experiencing the same frustration with empty pages. there are three at the end of document and you cannot place a cursor on any of them.

First time I see that.

Re: Delete an empty page?
Are you using Tables or OpenOffice Sections? There can be cases where these force a mandatory blank line, marked by the "old-fashioned J, which in a less ornate type looks like a backwards P (recte a Pilcrow)
