How can I eliminate page numbering in an MS Word document? Using the
"Insert" drop down menu, then "Page Numbering", offers a number of ways to edit page numbers, but I don't see a way to eliminate them from a document once inserted. Thanks. |

How can I eliminate page numbering in an MS Word document?
Which version of Word?
If prior to 2007, go to ViewHeader & Footer, then delete the page number code as well as any other unwanted content. If the doc uses several pg number schemes in different sections the content will have to be deleted from each Footer.

How can I eliminate page numbering in an MS Word document?
I am new to this version of Wrod. I hit "Insert" for page # and picked a
style. The page # went into the document, but I could not get back to the main text to keep writing the text of the document. I was stuck in the footer. Can someone tell me what I should do?

How can I eliminate page numbering in an MS Word document?
Although I can see the benifits of the tip, I find it rather complex
to achieve such a simple thing. The following combination of fields should just as well achieve what is required: { IF { PAGE } 5 "" { = { PAGE } - 3 } } If your page number is less than 5, don't display anything, otherwise, display your page number minus 3 (so 5 becomes 2, 6 3, ...) Do not enter the brackets yourself, enter them by using CTRL+F9: 1)Type CTRL+F9. (results in { }) 2)Type IF between the brackets followed by CTRL+F9. (results in { IF { } }) 3)Type PAGE between the inner brackets and " 5" right of the inner brackets. (results in { IF { PAGE } 5}) 4)Add the "". (results in { IF { PAGE } 5 ""}) 5)Type CTRL+F9. (results in { IF { PAGE } 5 "" { } }) 6)Type '='. (results in { IF { PAGE } 5 "" { = } }) 7)Type CTRL+F9. (results in { IF { PAGE } 5 "" { = { } } }) 8)Type PAGE between the last added brackets followed by - 3 after the brackets.

How can I eliminate page numbering in an MS Word document?
Yes and no. Its a bigger effort to insert, but my experience is that
it requires less follow-up questions. Although section breaks do not have to have any other influence, often people start complaining about numbering over multiple sections (lists, captions, ...) going wrong.

How can I eliminate page numbering in an MS Word document?
You thought THAT was less complex?
Some people are not going to be comfortable writing if/then code with math in them. I thought those instructions were right on, the tricky part is just understanding the dynamics of headers/footers and sections. Including the "first page is different" and "link to previous" functions. And FINDING them, I'm still getting used to 2007's ribbon, which makes lots of sense once you get over 10 years of "how it's always worked before" training. I wanted two un numbered pages, then standard numbering after that. I was starting with a doc that had a single un numbered page which I accomplished using "first page is different" and started the numbering at zero. To add my second page I had to first undo the above and get back to a simple state where all pages were the same. Then it was easy to add a section, unlink the two sections, and apply the numbering I wanted to the second section only. thanks for the tip "p0" wrote: Although I can see the benifits of the tip, I find it rather complex to achieve such a simple thing.

How can I eliminate page numbering in an MS Word document?
Well, in fairness to Doug, what he supplied was not "code" but a field. For
people accustomed to creating fields, it is really quite a simple one, and he did provide complete instructions for constructing it (which would be unnecessary for those accustomed to creating fields "by hand"). If you use the Insert Page Number button to insert the { PAGE } field, you really only have to insert one field using Ctrl+F9 and then type everything else inside it. -- Suzanne S.

How can I eliminate page numbering in an MS Word document?
Inadvertently I programed the first chapter of a dissertation to have page 1
identified in the header rather than the footer. I am using Vista and MS Word 2007. How may I reverse the programming?

How can I eliminate page numbering in an MS Word document?
I think I'm more dependent on text boundaries than on nonprinting
characters, which I usually turn off when I'm proofreading (but flip back on to confirm suspected cases of extra spaces and the like). I do wish, though, that there were a similarly simple toggle for text boundaries; someone inquired about that recently (wanting to add it to the QAT in Word 2007), and I hadn't thought about it till then, but I would appreciate that button. -- Suzanne S.

How can I eliminate page numbering in an MS Word document?
I'd like a QAT button for Paragraph Marks. I have them (and Tabs)
always on (but not the other Non-Printing Characters), but they interfere considerably when dealing with tables.
