About Delete Blank Pages in Word
Delete blank pages in Word that refuse to go away however often you press Backspace. The classic case is a document that ends in a table: Word insists on a paragraph after it, and when the table fills the page, that paragraph spills onto a new, empty one. Others come from a page break followed by a section break, or from Odd page section breaks that add a blank page so chapters start on the right.
Upload the DOCX and we find pages with no text, picture or table between hard breaks, remove the break that creates them and shrink the paragraph after a final table to a sliver. Empty lines at the very end go too; the rest stays as it was. A page left blank by a run of empty lines mid-document isn't touched. When the document is ready to send, Compress Word can also shrink the pictures inside it.

Why use Cubfile for this
- The table-at-the-end fix
The empty paragraph Word adds after a closing table is kept but made 1 pt high, which stops it from creating a page of its own.
- Break-caused blanks removed
Blank pages between two manual page breaks, or between a page break and a section break, disappear.
- Odd and even page breaks
Section breaks that force the next page to be odd or even are turned into ordinary next-page breaks.
- Covers are respected
An empty first section, which often holds a cover image anchored in its header, is left alone.
