    Hi Billy

    The page numbers may have been inserted using Insert > Page Numbers. When
    you use this, Word puts the page number in a frame. To delete it, in the >footer, click on the page number. You might see a border that looks like >//////. Click on that border so you see 6 little black squares. Now press >Delete. That should get rid of the page number, frame and all.

    If the page numbers were inserted as a field of text within the footer >itself, you can access them through View > Headers and Footers, and on the >H&F toolbar, click the "Switch between header and footer" button, and delete >whatever you can.

    Since page numbering is a property of a section, you need to check ecah >section. if the document has more than one section. Click at the top of the >document, do View > Headers and Footers and switch to the footer. Now, on
    the H&F toolbar, use the Show Next button to cycle through all the sections >to make sure the page numbering has been removed from all of them.

    Sounds good, but I couldn't get it to work.

    I have a docment I wany numbered from page 5 on, so I put pages 1-4 in
    a separate section, and in section 2 set page numbering to start at
    page 5.

    But it numbers page 2 a 6, 3 as 7 and 4 as 8.

    If I remove those numbers following your instructions abvove, it
    remove3d the page numbers from section 2 as well.

    How can I remover the page numbers from Section 1, and keep them in
    section 2?
