Publisher 2002: How to remove empty pages left by deletion of text

[EmoryW]

My wife deleted about six pages of text from a long document (300+ pages).
However, the deletion left 6 empty pages (that is, the gap didn't close up).
She has tried various kinds of dlete and cut editing commands, but nothing so
far has worked.

=============================
I guess you tried...Edit / Delete Page?

I tried the Edit-Delete Page function, got the "Both...left...right pages"
dialogue box and clicked on the "Both" radio button, then got the "Delete
this page?" message box and clicked okay, but nothing appeared to happen.

Does the info at the following link offer
anything you have not tried?

I'm not sure if the following article addresses
the delete issue but it may be worth a look:

Are all the text boxes linked? What happens if you delete the text box first then the
page?

John,

I clicked on the first of the links, which looked to be the answer to our
problem--until I went to the Application itself, and (in our copy of Pub2002,
at least) there is no "Thumbnail Pane" available from the view menu. Looking
thru the other menus I didn't see anything comparable elsewhere, either. Is
the Thumbnail Pane a feature in later versions of Publisher, or an additional
plug-in that we can load off of the distribution CD?

Thanks,
Emory
