Thanks to all who took the time to reply. I will try to answer everyone in a single email.
0. Apologies for the insufficiently detailed question. The pages I wish to delete are (as far as I can tell) entirely blank. I know how to delete text and images from a page. 1. The problem I am experiencing is apparently because on the last page, there is a picture and some text anchored to the page. Libreoffice is apparently capable of making a document longer when the content expands and there is an anchor on the last page, but incapable of removing blank pages if the content shrinks. The person I work with on this project told me to cut (remove) the content from the last page, and then paste on an earlier page, and then I would be able to delete the blank pages at the end of the document. 2. I fully comprehend the difference between pixels and character locations on a page of text, but since there are no characters, and no defined font or anything else, the only way I could think of to express the concept of "everywhere on the page" was to use "pixels" as a unit. Also, the need to precisely click on the gray border of a "text frame" to be able to delete it tells me than pixel-level precision is necessary to run LibreOffice Writer. 3. my "signature" line about malware and Linux is only a response to the "scanned by Avast (etc.)" lines I see on so many incoming emails. The chance of my emails having malware is vanishingly small; I think the signature line is close enough to 100% accurate as makes no difference, not least because there is probably NO email propagated malware targeting Linux.
