Appear to edit a mere half page (6)
I believe the answer is:
emerge
'appear' is the definition.
(emerge can mean to appear or arrive)
'edit a mere half page' is the wordplay.
'edit' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'edited' mean this).
'half' suggests halving the letters.
'page' halved is 'ge'.
'mere' anagrammed gives 'emer'.
'emer'+'ge'='EMERGE'
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for emerge that I've seen before include "Become gradually apparent" , "Become known or apparent" , "Come out or surface" , "Come into greater prominence" , "Come into view" .)
