Pages-want to delete 2nd page of 2 page document-will only allow deleting both pages.

I printed a 2 page document w/ 'Pages 09' but want to delete the 2nd page only. In the thumbnail when I click on 2nd page the yellow highlights BOTH pages. When I click on DELETE it asks "are you sure you want to delete pages 1 & 2 . . cancel or delete? I can remove the type on page 2 BUT then I'm still left with a Blank page! What's up?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Pages doesn't "see" a page as you & I do. Pages sees logical pages, separated by section breaks, rather than physical pages. You can see this by showing thumbnails, View > Show Page Thumbnails, & then clicking on a page thumbnail. The yellow border around groups of pages shows the logical page. You need to insert section breaks before & after the physical pages to separate them.
