How to Remove a Page Break in Google Docs

Published in Google Docs Formatting 2 mins read


Removing a page break in Google Docs is a simple process primarily done using your keyboard.

Page breaks are invisible markers that force the content following them onto the next page. While useful for document structure, you may sometimes need to remove them to adjust flow or spacing.

## Steps to Remove a Page Break

Based on the standard method, here's exactly how to remove a page break in your Google Doc:

1.  **Open your Google Doc:** Navigate to the document containing the page break you wish to remove.
2.  **Locate the Page Break:** Scroll through your document to find the page break. It often appears as blank space separating content onto different pages.
3.  **Click Under the Page Break:** Place your cursor immediately after or below the page break within the document. This positions your cursor right where the break effectively starts the new page.
4.  **Press Backspace or Delete:** With your cursor positioned after the page break, on your keyboard, press either the **Backspace** key or the **Delete** key.
5.  **Repeat as Needed:** Continue pressing **Backspace** or **Delete** until the page break marker is removed and the content flows upwards.

### Quick Tip:

Page breaks themselves are usually not visible characters like letters or numbers. You remove them by deleting the space or the hidden marker they represent using the **Backspace** or **Delete** keys from the point just after the break.

By following these steps, you can efficiently remove unwanted page breaks from your Google Docs, allowing your text and elements to reflow naturally.
