It is easier to answer, when you can provide the document.
Additional possible reason (besides those you have got already):
You have an object, for example a picture, anchored to the third page.
Then the second page cannot be deleted. The anchor remains on page 3, it
is not shifted, when a page before it is deleted. You have to move the
anchor first.
Kind regards
Regina

It all depends upon how the blank page was created. So, please
describe your document in more detail.

As a rough guide, depending on spacing and paper size, the single paragraph limit is about 10-15 pages of US Letter (A4).

Two ways:
Move to /View /Web view
or
Set Page height (/Format /Page : Page tab, User) to the max allowable of 300 cm (118.11")
Both of these will minimise the intrusion of the page break. Be aware that OpenOffice does not like (= really hates) paragraphs containing more that 64K characters.

How to display pages with no breaks between them
Posted by stephen schneider <ss...@hotmail.com>.
Dear OpenOfficers:
Thanks for your time and support on this admittedly simple question:
Before swtiching to OO, I used ms word, where it was possible to view text documents continuously: i.e., pages were separated by one line only. To set this up, one went to the 'View' heading and chose 'Normal.'
Now, in OO, pages are separated by a blue area, so when one goes down a multi-page document, there's a jump after every page. The document is discontinuous, which I don't like.
So, the questions: is it possible in OO for pages to be separated by one line (and not by the gap described above)? How to set this up? How to make this the default for viewing documents?
Thanks all around.

Not that I know of. But you may be able to make use of View | Web
Layout, which displays your document without its page structure (but
doesn't lose what you have in the document); this enables you to
concentrate on the text itself and not the final layout.
>How to make this the default for viewing documents?
Again, I don't think you can. But this viewing style appears to be
saved with documents, so you would need to set it only once for each
document. You could also save a template in Web Layout view, even
perhaps making this your default template for new documents. But I
see no way of making this happen automatically for documents you
receive from others.
I trust this helps.

i could achieve similar results when setting 'tools/options/openoffice.org
writer/print/print automatically inserted blank pages' to false and
'file/export as pdf/general/export automatically inserted blank pages' to
true. however, the former seems to synchronise with the latter on the
event of exporting. (aoo 3.4.1 on winxp sp2.)

No, Print Preview does not show the automatically inserted blank pages.
At least, it doesn't on my system. On my documents, in Print Preview,
the only hint that blank pages have been inserted is in the page
numbers. If one chapter ends on a right page, the next chapter
automatically begins on a right page so a left page is inserted to cause
this to happen. Right pages always have odd-numbered pages, so if one
chapter ends on, say, page 21, the next chapter will begin on page 23 so
you know that blank page 22 was inserted. However, if you export to
pdf, the pdf file will have the blank pages.

Re: Deleting pages
Posted by "Girvin R. Herr" <gi...@sbcglobal.net>.
Your message is not clear if your blank pages are in Writer or the
printed output. If the latter, another cause may be when jumping to
another right or left page from the same page style. Writer inserts a
blank page to make that jump. See also Printer Options -> Other ->
Print Automatically Inserted Blank Pages. This happens if you are on a
left page for example and insert a manual page break with a style that
starts on a left page. Then, a blank right page will be inserted to get
to that new left page. This usually shows your page numbers jumping by 2
but not a blank page in Writer itself. I would expect the preview would
show the blank page, however, since it is displaying what the printed
output would be.
Hope this helps

There two main reasons to have blank pages:
1. Invisible content: Use View/Nonprinting Charakters (Ctrl-F10), look
for whitespace characters and delete them
2. Manual page breaks: you see a dashed line between the last page and
the blank page. Click on last page and hit backspace until the blank
page disappeares.
