Unlike Publisher, Word isn't a page-oriented editor. So, how you delete a
"page" would depend on how that page is created. If the document is a
one-section document, then a "page" is simply all the text that happens to
appear on a given page. The "page" contents will change if you add or delete
text above that page. Deleting a "page" is simply a matter of selecting
everything from the top of the page to the bottom and tapping the Delete
key.

In all this... it helps you get a better handle on what you're working with
if you are displaying non-printing formatting marks. Press Ctrl+Shift+8 to
toggle them on if they're not already displayed.

If the page is there because of one or more section breaks, then it's
potentially more complicated because the formatting for that page--if
different from the rest of the document--might be stored in a section break.
In this case, you would want to take a look at any page-related formatting
that might be different in the different section, and to delete the
next-page section break that contains the formatting that's associated with
the page you want to delete, along with the contents of that page.

As a general rule, if I wanted to delete such a page, I would select from
the top of the page down to and  including the section break at the bottom
of that page, and tap the delete key.

If the document contains plain page breaks, they're less of a problem than
section breaks. I would use the same technique, however, and select from the
top of the page down to and including any physical page break at the bottom
of the page, and tap the delete key.

Keep in mind that if something horrible or unexpected happens, you can
always press Ctrl+Z (UnDo) to reverse the deletion and try something
different.

If this doesn't help...It would help if you could describe the contents of
your document and any section or page breaks it contains, as well as which
Help instructions you're following.

I need to know how to delete a whole page using Microsoft Word 2007, but the document is in 97-2003 Compatibility Mode.  The essay is due TODAY!
