Default Find/Replace or VBA to remove character ?

Probably your document has both Headers and Footers. Place your cursor
down below the main text, somewhere near where the page number you
don't want is, and double-click.

This will change the focus of Word to the Footer, which will now be
black instead of grayed-out. You can then simply delete the page
number (no matter what page you happen to be on when you do it.)

To go back to your text, double-click anywhere in the text.

The page breaks / distribution of lines will not change. If you want
to put another line or two on the page (in the space freed up by
removing the extra page number), then you need to go into the Page
Setup display and change the Margin for the Footer. (You can't
actually make the Footer go away after it's been used in a document,
but you can reduce it to nothing. When you delete the page number,
also delete the paragraph mark in the Footer.)

Hi,

In my MS Word document, there are about 300 pages.
I need to remove the last line of each page if it is a number.

Any way to achieve it without writing a macro or I need a macro.
Thanks for suggestion.

Here's how the content looks like

page 1
some content here. content here. some content here. content here
some content here. content here
some content here. content here
some content here. content here
some content here. content here
some content here. content here

page 2
some content here. content here. some content here. content here
some content here. content here
some content here. content here
some content here. content here
some content here. content here
some content here. content here
