how to delete just one page in Pages 4.3

Jeff,

Your technique worked on my seven page, one section document, and enabled the deletion of a single section (page).

I figred it out: you go to the document section, and uncheck the header and footer section. write something on the page you want to delete, and then select it all and delete it ... and taadaaaa! 🙂

it worked for me. so ... good luck!

I am having a similar problem, but don't quite follow your solution. I have placed a photo in my manuscript that I copied from an Internet site. It somehow floated to a different page. It also seems to have usurped some margin space, though it looks good. When I click on it it appears with small xs at the corners and won't delete or move. I think I've tried all the suggestion in this thread.

At the moment, all thumbnails appear as one section, which is what I want until I section off and page-number my 150-page memoir.

It's been a nightmare writing this book in Pages because I was long into Pages 5 before discovering I had to revert to 4.3 if I wanted to format book pages and margins, etc. Lots of cutting and pasting.

I know this is an old thread, but hope someone can help me delete this photo. I get it that I something is wrong with the pic itself, since all my other photos are in place no problem. If it is a section within a section, what then??

The small crosses indicate that it is locked:

Menu > Arrange > Unlock

I don't see a Menu choice above my document. What am I missing?

This is the Pages menu:

Just how new to computers are you?

You need to tell us so we can make adjustments in our advice.

Peter

Wow! Not to have seen Arrange on the Menu bar. Many thanks, picas, for your patient reply. Problem solved with just one click. Peter, thanks, too, for your advice. I'm a long time computer user -- not that you could tell from my post -- except from the fact that I'm old enough to have written a memoir. Maybe that's the problem. Ha!

You don't have to convert to Layout, which deletes all your content in the entire document and is a bad idea, just insert section breaks either side of the page and then delete the thumbnail.

Peter,

Your suggestion is all kool and the gang until it doesn't work which is almost always hence why we have to post on these boards - out of sheer frustration and indignation. When all else fails, follow my instructions. It only took me over a year to figure it out and I promise you, my IQ and even EQ is kinda up there. No B.S.

Sorry it took you a whole year to come up with your solution, but you are wrong.

I have no idea what your IQ is but believe me it will have to be extremely competitive.

Converting to Layout will delete all your content that is not in floating objects. Even material that is floating but anchored in the text. Which seems ridiculous when all you want is to delete a page.

If you want me to walk you through it step by step, start with what version of Pages you are using.

Peter

Thank you! This worked for me I've been trying for ages!
