For the life of me I cannot find any where how to REMOVE a page break from InDesign, I have version 13x32. A page break came over from word, I have found hundreds of videos and tutorials on how to add, but nothing on how to remove. It will not let me "delete" and there is not a "trash can" on the upper right as suggested by one person.

Turn on your invisibles (Type>Show Hidden Characters) and look for the page break symbol, which you can select and delete like any other white space.

You could also use Find and Change to replace them— ^p

Hi,

Go to Type menu and enable "Show hidden characters". Select the break character and delete it then.

If you are have trouble finding the Page Break or there are multiple Page Breaks in a row, go the the Edit menu > Edit in Story Editor. Select the Page Break(s) and  delete. (See the posts above for the invisible symbol used by Page Breaks.)

Hi Dan:

Correction: While Find/Change is a great way to go if you have a bunch of page breaks, ^p is a hard return, ^P is a page break.

You don't have to memorize this—these are listed in the Find What menu:
