I do I eliminate a blank page at the end of a word document. The pages are numbered but page 6 is blank. Thanks

Display nonprinting characters (Ctrl+*) so that you can see what is causing
the "blank" page. Almost certainly you will see one or more empty paragraphs
(indicated by paragraph marks: ¶). Delete these. If page 5 ends with a
table, you will not be able to delete the final paragraph mark after the
table, which holds document-level formatting. But you can select it and
format it to a small point size (1 point) or apply the Hidden font property
(it will not vanish until you hide nonprinting characters by pressing Ctrl+*
again).
