When you use the Insert | Page Numbers command, the page number is inserted
in a frame. Every time you use this command, another frame is inserted.
Which is why using the Insert Page Number command on the Header and Footer
toolbar is recommended. I'm afraid you'll have to go through the footers one
by one and delete the frames one by one. For more on this, see

Thank you Suzanne. That helped a lot. With that instruction I was able
to add a page number to the footer and to put it nice an low on the page.
However, there still exists another page number about an inch higher. If
I double click this other page number and then click it once more, it
appears to be in a text box (about 6 inches across) in the lower part of
each page. If I click the gray box around the page number the black boxes
used to size it appear. If I then press delete, the box and the number
disappear. Is there a way to get all of these boxes to disappear at once,
so that only the page numbers that I put low in the footer (like you
instructed me) remain?
Thanks again.
Bob

Reduce the footer margin to something less than the bottom margin.

I am sorry. I gave the wrong impression. I meant that on a number of
pages, there area several sentances which I need to keep found below the
page numbers.

Delete the empty paragraphs below the page numbers.

I have a Word document given to me which has the page numbers too high
on the page. In fact in some cases there are actually some lines below
the page numbers. The page numbers are in the middle at the bottom of
the page. Can someone tell me how to move the page numbers down as low
as possible on the page? Thank you in advance.
Bob
