You can't delete "pages" because a Word file contains no pages to delete.
It's a continuous flow of text contained in paragraphs. The only reason you
see the white sheets on the screen is because people *expect* to see them so
MS makes it appear that way
To delete content you have to do exactly that - select & delete the content
you want to remove. When you do the number of "pages" will be reduced
accordingly. If there is a large, continuous amount of content you may want
to familiarize yourself with additional techniques for selecting text, such
as Shift+Click (see Word Help for more choices), rather than relying
strictly on the dragging method. Using Outline View is also a very effective
option for deleting large amounts of content.
