Is it possible to delete certain page numbers? I.e. How can I remove page
numbers e.g. from pages 2 and 50 without deleting other? I would really
appreciate if someone could help me.

One way is to use a conditional field in the footer (header).
Something like this should work:

{ IF { PAGE } = 2 "" { IF { PAGE } = 50 "" { PAGE } }

Note that each pair of field delimiters must be inserted with
Ctrl+F9; you can't just type them in.

There appears to be a field delimiter missing from Stefan's version - which
I couldn't get to work. Although not strictly necessary with fields I much
prefer to use quotes to delimit the various parts of a conditional field as
it makes it much easier to see what is supposed to happen. In this instance:

{ IF { Page } = 2 "" "{ IF { Page } = 50 "" "{ Page }" }" }

will work.

True. I see now that I left out the final }. Thanks for
pointing this out!

Please forgive my ignorance, but where do I put this code if I want to
repress the page number? I have one page that I don't want the page number to
print.

thank you

You put this field code wherever you would otherwise put the page number
(header or footer).

So to supress page 121

{ IF { Page } = 121 "" "{ Page }" }

I tried this but it didn't work.

I can't quite understand what you're saying. What exactly should I do if I
was trying to take away the page numbers for like pages 8 and 9 or something,
because I can't really understand what you're saying about conditional fields
and stuff.

{ IF { PAGE } 8 { PAGE } {IF { PAGE } 9 { PAGE } "" }

will cause pages 1 through 7 and those greater than nine to be numbered. If
you wanted physical page 10 to be numbered 8 with all following pages having
the next sequential number, then use:

{ IF { PAGE } 8 { PAGE } {IF { PAGE } 9 { = { PAGE } - 2 } "" }

I was able to get the code to work but I cannot get the desired number format
to stick, I prefer Page x of y. Any suggestions?

Use:

{ IF { PAGE } = 2 "" { IF { PAGE } = 50 "" "{ PAGE } of { NUMPAGES }" }

assuming that you want pages 2 and 50 included in the page count.

If not, use:

{ IF { PAGE } = 2 "" { IF { PAGE } = 50 "" "{ PAGE } of { = { NUMPAGES } -
2 }" }

I just deleted the page numbers in Adobe Acrobat pdf file, under tools - advanced edititng - touch up object tool

[WordBanter AI]

Yes, it is possible to delete page numbers from certain pages in Microsoft Word. Here's how you can remove page numbers from specific pages:

1. First, open your Word document and go to the page where you want to remove the page number.
2. Double-click on the header or footer area of the page to open the Header & Footer Tools tab.
3. On the Header & Footer Tools tab, click on the "Link to Previous" button to turn off the link between the current section and the previous section.
4. Now, select the page number you want to remove by clicking on it.
5. Press the Delete key on your keyboard to remove the page number.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for any other pages where you want to remove the page number.
7. Once you have removed the page numbers from all the pages you want, go back to the first page where you want to keep the page number.
8. Double-click on the header or footer area of the page to open the Header & Footer Tools tab.
9. On the Header & Footer Tools tab, click on the "Link to Previous" button to turn on the link between the current section and the previous section.
10. Now, insert the page number as you normally would by clicking on the "Page Number" button on the Header & Footer Tools tab.

That's it! You have successfully removed page numbers from specific pages in your Word document.
