Thumbs up Answer: How do I hide certain page numbers?

Hey there! I'd be happy to help you with that. Here's how you can hide certain page numbers in Microsoft Word:
  1. First, go to the page where you want to hide the page numbers. In your example, that would be page 46 and 47.
  2. Click on the "Page Layout" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  3. Click on the "Breaks" dropdown menu and select "Next Page" under "Section Breaks".
  4. This will create a new section on the next page. Go to the new section by clicking on the first line of the new page.
  5. Click on the "Insert" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  6. Click on "Page Number" and select "Format Page Numbers".
  7. In the "Page Number Format" dialog box, select "Start at" and enter the number of the next page after the hidden pages. In your example, that would be 48.
  8. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.
  9. Go back to the previous section by clicking on the last line of the previous page.
  10. Click on the "Insert" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  11. Click on "Page Number" and select "Format Page Numbers".
  12. In the "Page Number Format" dialog box, select "Continue from previous section".
  13. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.

Now, the page numbers on the hidden pages should be hidden, and the page numbers should continue as normal on the following page.
