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.

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.

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.

{ IF { PAGE } 121 { PAGE } }

Don't type the curly braces. Enter the curly braces by pressing
Ctrl+F9.

Did you use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field braces?

Yes I used Ctrl+F9. do spaces matter? Should there be any?

Spaces can matter in calculation fields but I doubt it is the problem with
this field.
Try typing
IF "Page" = "121" "" "Page"
Then select each Page without the quotation marks and press Ctrl-F9. This
creates your two Page fields. Then select the entire thing and press
Ctrl-F9. This gives you the IF field. Then press F9 to update the field and
change it into a page number.

Spaces can matter but shouldn't here. Keep in mind that what Word thinks is
page 121 may not agree with what you think is.

It would be interesting to see this work. But, I don't want to have all that text in my footer instead of a page number. You have something wrong. It does not work.
