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


The following will toggle paragraphs and tabs display. If you only want
paragraph marks toggled, remove the tabs line

Sub ShowParasAndTabs()
With ActiveWindow.View
.ShowTabs = Not .ShowTabs
.ShowParagraphs = Not .ShowParagraphs
End With
End Sub

I'd like a QAT button for Paragraph Marks. I have them (and Tabs)
always on (but not the other Non-Printing Characters), but they
interfere considerably when dealing with tables. Especially since the
Paragraph Mark coding is used in some non-roman fonts for actual
letters, so they appear in the cells rather than faint circles.

that there were a similarly simple toggle for text boundaries; someone
inquired about that recently (wanting to add it to the QAT in Word 2007),
and I hadn't thought about it till then, but I would appreciate that
button.

Yes, I feel the same. Previously I imagined that nonprinting marks were
more important to me, but I'm gradually realizing that I'm highly
dependent on text boundaries as well.

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
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...lyIndented.htm.

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.

once inserted.
Thanks.-
