The catch here is that the page isn't really blank. If it were, it wouldn't
exist. It just looks blank to you because you don't have nonprinting
characters displayed. Press Ctrl+* or click the Show/Hide ¶ button on the
Standard toolbar, and you will probably see at least one paragraph mark (¶)
and possible some spaces, tabs, etc. (To identify these characters, see
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm). Delete any
extra paragraph marks, and you'll probably lose the extra page.
If the previous page ends with a table, then Word will insist on having at
least one text paragraph (even if it's empty) after it at the end of the
document. That's because the last paragraph mark holds formatting
information for the entire document. So you can't remove that paragraph
mark, but you can hide it. Select just the paragraph mark and format it as
Hidden (Ctrl+Shift+H). Then when you hide NPC again, the page will disappear
(sometimes it suffices to format the font and/or line spacing to 1 point).
