Removing page numbers

[Trevor Scowen]

Hi All

Does anyone know how to remove page numbering. I can't see anything in the
help about this. I've tried copying the entire document into a new one but
the page numbering seems to get copied with it.

Hoping someone can help

Hi Trevor,

This is from the Word 200 Help. I'm surprised you were unable to locate
it, are you using 97?
--------------------------------------
To Remove Page Numbers

On the View menu, click Header and Footer.

If you positioned the page numbers at the bottom of the page, click Switch
Between Header and Footer on the Header and Footer toolbar.

Select a page number.
If you inserted page numbers by using the Page Numbers command on the Insert
menu, **make sure to select the frame around the page number.**

Press DELETE.

Notes

Word automatically removes the page numbers throughout the document. To
remove page numbers for part of a document, divide the document into
sections and break the connection between them. For more information, click
.

If you created different first-page or odd and even headers or footers, make
sure to remove the page numbers from each different header or footer.

HTH,
Jennifer

In general, most people after a while decide to not use the Insert => Page
Number... command to put page numbers into documents. It is too hard to mess
with. Try putting your page numbers in your headers or footers instead.

See <http://www.addbalance.com/word/q02.htm> for information on headers and
footers and <http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/sections.htm> for much
more about headers and footers.

You may also want to take a look at:

Hope this helps.
