    Turn off Print document properties in Word, which is the setting that prints document summary information as a separate page after each document.

    1. Open Word.
    2. Select File → Options → Display.
    3. Under Printing options, clear Print document properties.
    4. Select OK, then print a document again.

    This setting applies to current Microsoft 365 versions of Word and controls the extra page containing details such as the filename, author, template, and dates. ^1^

    If the extra page still prints

    Determine whether the printer itself is generating a separator or job-information page:

    1. Print something from another application, such as Notepad.
    2. If the same report appears, it is not Word’s document-properties page.
    3. In Windows 11, open Start → Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Printers & scanners.
    4. Select the printer, then Printer properties.
    5. Check the printer’s settings for a separator page, banner page, job sheet, or information page, and disable it. The exact name and location depend on the printer driver or print-server configuration.
    6. If that option is unavailable, contact the printer or print-server administrator; centrally managed printers may enforce it.

    If the extra page appears only from Word and contains comments or tracked changes rather than file properties, open File → Print and review the menu under Settings / Print All Pages, where Word exposes options for printing document properties and markup. ^2^
