Step 3: Once you reach the page, you want to delete, enter “\page.” It will select and highlight the entire page content. 

Entering the “\type” will select and highlight the content of the page you want to delete. 

Once you see all the content highlighted, you can click on Close to go to the page. 

Step 4: Click on backspace or delete to delete the page.
