Select the page number and press the Delete button. If you originally used the Insert Page Number item in the menu, the page number will be enclosed in a frame (you should see a dashed rectangle when you select the page number). Click that box and press Delete.

Is it true that if you never insert headers/footers into a document,
it doesn't have any at all, but if you do insert some, and later decide you don't want any, then even if you delete all the content that was in them, you can't ever make them go away entirely? (This gets to be important when trying to cram a whole lot of text into the smallest possible margins.) On Jan 8, 4:54*pm, "Jay Freedman" wrote: wrote: I must be really DUMB!

How do you simply "DELETE" page numbers?
Yes, this is true. In recent versions of Word, if there was ever content in
the header/footer (or if you even opened the header/footer to modify the Header/Footer style, as I made the mistake of doing in one template where I'd changed the margins and so needed to move the tab stops), then you will have an empty paragraph in the header/footer. You can still set the header/footer margins to 0" if you need more text area. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "grammatim" wrote in message ...
