Various document sections are added, forced page breaks are inserted at different positions and end-users can modify the resulting document. A typical task is to remove all empty pages from a document that consist only of a page break or section break character. The following method uses the [PageEnumerator](https://docs.textcontrol.com/textcontrol/windows-forms/ref.txtextcontrol.pagecollection.getenumerator.method.htm) to loop through all pages. If the [Length](https://docs.textcontrol.com/textcontrol/windows-forms/ref.txtextcontrol.page.length.property.htm) of a page equals 1, the page is removed. ``` private void RemoveEmptyPages() { TXTextControl.PageCollection.PageEnumerator pageEnum = textControl1.GetPages().GetEnumerator(); pageEnum.MoveNext(); int pageCounter = textControl1.GetPages().Count; for (int i = 0; i < pageCounter; i++) { TXTextControl.Page curPage = (TXTextControl.Page)pageEnum.Current; if (curPage.Length == 1) { textControl1.Select(curPage.Start - 1, 1); textControl1.Selection.Text = ""; } else pageEnum.MoveNext(); } } ``` Need more of those tricks?
