How to delete a page in word mail merge

In Microsoft Word, when you're working on a mail merge document, you may need to delete a page that's not part of the merge process. Here are the steps to delete a page in Word during a mail merge:

Method 1: Delete a page using the "Page Layout" tab

  1. Go to the "Page Layout" tab in the ribbon.
  2. Click on the "Delete" button in the "Page Setup" group.
  3. Select "Delete Page" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Confirm that you want to delete the page by clicking "Yes" in the dialog box.

Method 2: Delete a page using the "View" tab

  1. Go to the "View" tab in the ribbon.
  2. Click on the "Page Navigation" button in the "Document Views" group.
  3. Select "Delete Page" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Confirm that you want to delete the page by clicking "Yes" in the dialog box.

Method 3: Delete a page using the keyboard shortcut

  1. Press "Ctrl + Shift + 8" (Windows) or "Command + Shift + 8" (Mac) to toggle the "Show/Hide" button on the ribbon.
  2. Click on the "Delete" button that appears next to the page number.
  3. Confirm that you want to delete the page by clicking "Yes" in the dialog box.

Important note: When you delete a page during a mail merge, it will not affect the merge process. The deleted page will be removed from the document, but the merge will continue as usual.

If you're having trouble deleting a page or if you're unsure about the consequences of deleting a page, it's always a good idea to save a copy of your document before making any changes.
