It is uncomfortable if you have to wipe a page in Word, because the text only breaks a few lines to a new page. You can now manually reduce text, change line spacing, and delete words. But that is all very complex. Use the right function of Word. You must add a command to the Quick Access Bar.


Check the small arrow next to the Quick Access Bar. From the menu that appears, select More Commands. The Word Options with the Selection Adjust the Quick Access Toolbar is displayed. In the Select Commands drop-down menu, select All commands

In the list of commands, locate the Reduce a page command. Select this command, and then click the Add button. The command ends up on the right side of the icons for the fast access. Clicking the OK button will display the command in the quick access bar.


Now click on this command in the quick access bar. The function tries to display your document as one page is less generated. This works only in a certain tolerance range (with little translation). If the attempt fails, you get the information Despite several attempts, the document size of Word could not be reduced by one page. In this case, you will need to make additional manual adjustments.
