How do I delete a page from a multiple page doc.

[John Coyle]

I scanned 12 pages and created a single document. I now
must delete a couple of these pages but can not figure
out how? I can't just go to the page and hit delete. I
know this can be done but how?
Thanks in advance,
JOhn

John,

Word doesn't have pages in the sense one might think. All
the stuff in word is just a jumble until it generates a
display either on the screen, a .prn file, or the printed
page.

This means you can't delete page 4 like you can rip out a
page from a book or delete a slide from PowerPoint.

About the best you can do is delete or maninulate the data
that results in pages. Outline view is the best place to
do this and tips for using outline veiw are found here:

Or, you can use a macro to delete the content of the
displayed page at the cursor. This will cause the document
to reflow omitting that content.

Sub PageDelete()
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Delete
End Sub
