How do I delete pages that seem empty?
You might face two scenarios:
 * 1) one or several pages are present in the document but seem empty; or
 * 2) the software adds empty pages when you select the print preview, when you print the document, or when you select the book mode.

Pages are present in the document
You have to remove the non-printable characters that create this page:
 * check the  menu (or press ); and
 * remove the unnecessary characters.

Unwanted “added” pages
By default, the software is configured to correctly manage duplex printing: odd pages are always right pages. If you change the current numbering so that an odd page follows another odd page (for example page 1 followed by page 5), the software automatically adds an even empty page.

This behavior can be disabled:
 * as a one-off, to print the current document using the print dialog:
 * select the  menu;
 * select the LibreOffice Writer tab;
 * under the Pages section, uncheck Print automatically inserted blank pages;
 * globally by changing the default option:
 * select the  menu (or press keys);
 * on the left side, select ; and
 * under the Other section, uncheck Print automatically inserted blank pages.
