Can't delete page or text

Post by FrederikaB »

Hello, I'm trying to delete a blank page on a document, that doesn't have any letter, but its still there (maybe for the formating), the delete button doesn't work.

Also there is a little text that when I'm formating I can't even access to it (because it's in a really small box) and that in edit mode can't be barely seen, but when I put in on PDF it shows all the letters. How can I delete it?

Thanks for your attention!

Pages are deleted automatically when the content of the page is deleted. Click at the bottom of the page's text area and press Backspace to delete the content.

Is the "small box" a frame? You can right-click a frame and select Frame to open the Frame dialog where you can change the size of the frame.

Also, start Navigator (F5 key) which will show the components of a file, allow speedy selection of them and often allow them to be deleted.
