Remove page numbers
- On the View menu, click Header and Footer.
- If you positioned the page numbers at the bottom of the page, click Switch Between Header and Footer on the Header and Footer toolbar.
- Select a page number.
If you inserted page numbers by using the Page Numbers command on the Insert menu, make sure to select the frame around the page number.
-
Click the page number to make its frame appear.
-
Move the pointer over the frame's border until the pointer becomes a four-headed arrow, and then click to see the frame's sizing handles.
If the handles are not visible, you might have clicked the contents of the frame, not the frame itself.
-
- Press DELETE.
Notes
- Microsoft Word automatically removes the page numbers throughout the document. To remove page numbers for part of a document, divide the document into sections and break the connection between them.
- If you created different first-page or odd and even headers or footers, make sure to remove the page numbers from each different header or footer.
