Default How do I hide certain page numbers?

There are a couple of possibilities.

One is to insert section breaks before and after the "different"
pages, turn off the Same As Previous in the header or footer of the
"different" section and the section after it, and delete the
page-number field from the "different" section.

Another method is to use nested IF fields and page-number fields. For
this to work, you need to know exactly the page numbers you want to
hide -- if later editing makes the text shift to other pages, the
fields won't adjust automatically. For the example you gave, the field
would be

{ IF { PAGE } 46 { PAGE } { IF { PAGE } 47 { PAGE } "" } }

You have to build this up by pressing Ctrl+F9 to create each pair of
field markers. The advantage of this method is that it doesn't need
any section breaks.

I've been torturing myself, trying to figure out how to hide certain page

two consecutive numbers, so that I can for example have apge 45 shown, but
not 46 and 47, and then 48 resumes.
Thanks in advance.
