Stopping the page numbering in the middle of a document.
I am working on a document that I only want the page numbering to go only
part way through. But I don't find anything in help that tells how to stop numbering without deleting the numbering on the previous pages. I tried deleting the individual page numbers but that deletes them all. Can anyone help me or can it even be done? |

Stopping the page numbering in the middle of a document.
You don't say what version of Word you're using, but in most versions you
need to insert a section break (Insert - Break - Next Page) at the point you want page numbers to stop. Then go into the header or footer (wherever your page numbers are) and make sure that "Link to Previous" is NOT checked. Then you can delete the page numbers from the section that you want. I hope this helps. Fred "Tammy" wrote: I am working on a document that I only want the page numbering to go only part way through.

Stopping the page numbering in the middle of a document.
Thank you both very much. I am using Word 2003. I tried what you what you
suggested I could not find any way to clear the page numbers. I could continue with different page numbers starting at 1 again but nothing to clear page numbers. When I tried to delete the page number, it deleted them all. "Peter A" wrote: In article , says... I am working on a document that I only want the page numbering to go only part way through.

Can anyone help me or can it even be done? Your page numbers are in a header or footer, right? If not, they should be. Then you can insert a section break where you want the numbering to stop. Put the cursor after the break, view Headers/Footers, uncouple from the previous section, and remove the page number. -- Peter Aitken Author, MS Word for Medical and Technical Writers www.tech-word.com |

Stopping the page numbering in the middle of a document.
As both Peter and Idaho said, you must be in the header for the first
page of the second section (the one where you want no page numbers), disconnect it from the first section (the button on the Headers toolbar that has an arrow pointing left), and then delete the page number just like deleting any other character. (If it's in a text box, delete the text box and its contents.)

Stopping the page numbering in the middle of a document.
I want to thank everyone who helped me. I was just missing where the button
on the header/footer tool bar was and I kept thinking it was something very simple and it was. I just could not get my mind around it. Thank everyone so much.
