Remove line numbers
- Switch to print layout view.
- If your document is divided into sections, click in a section or select multiple sections from which you want to remove line numbers.
- On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then click the Layout tab.
- In the Apply to box, select the option you want.
- Click Line Numbers.
- Clear the Add line numbering check box.
TipIf you select This point forward in the Apply to box, Microsoft Word will add a page break before the unnumbered lines. If you don't want a page break, try suppressing line numbers instead (select the lines, and on the Format menu click Paragraphs, and then on the Line and Page Breaks tab, select the Suppress line numbers check box).
