Delete the "characters" (these may be non printing characters such as tabs, new paragraphs, new lines, spaces etc) that cause new (empty) pages to form. I always set my Word application to show non printing characters (I know many people find it very annoying to see everything but Word is really a character (not a word) processor and if you don't see the characters you won't know what you are doing. To show all characters there is a "paragraph" button (sort of looks like a backwards P with an extra vertical stroke) push it in and watch every space become a dot, every paragraph end become one of those paragraph characters, ever tab become an arrow etc.

You will also see manual page breaks.

Remove any and all of the non printing characters that are not ABSOLUTELY necessary.

No two tabs after each other (set tabs with the tab ruler), no empty paragraphs (set distance before and after paragraphs with the Paragraph formatting function) no two spaces next to each other.

(It usually takes me half an hour to reformat someone else's document so that is is "clean" and correct!)
Remove any hard page breaks or any empty paragraphs that caused Word to add an extra page.
