Default How can I eliminate page numbering in an MS Word document?

I find myself absolutely at sea when I open a copy of Word that doesn't have
both nonprinting characters and text boundaries displayed. Those are the two
changes I make immediately.

Good point.

Having text boundaries displayed in Word makes it easier to see such page
number frames.

Also, if it was inserted via Insert | Page Numbers, it will be in a
frame, and you need to be careful to delete the entire frame to avoid the
"wandering frame" problem discussed in

Double-click the page number in the header (or footer); this activates
the header/footer view. Then select and delete the page number that you
want to get rid of.

Thanks.
