How do I delete inserted page numbers?
I can't find a way to delete the numbers, I've tried renumbering but it still
skips over a few numbers. This document is a compiled from other files, maybe that's the reason it is screwed up.Thanks for your help. |

Hi Billy
The page numbers may have been inserted using Insert Page Numbers. When you use this, Word puts the page number in a frame. To delete it, in the footer, click on the page number. You might see a border that looks like //////. Click on that border so you see 6 little black squares. Now press Delete. That should get rid of the page number, frame and all. If the page numbers were inserted as a field of text within the footer itself, you can access them through View Headers and Footers, and on the H&F toolbar, click the "Switch between header and footer" button, and delete whatever you can. Since page numbering is a property of a section, you need to check ecah section. if the document has more than one section. Click at the top of the document, do View Headers and Footers and switch to the footer. Now, on the H&F toolbar, use the Show Next button to cycle through all the sections to make sure the page numbering has been removed from all of them. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.
