Re: Stopping the page numbering in the middle of a document.

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



As both Peter and Idaho said, you must be in the header for the first
page of the second section (the one where you want no page numbers),
disconnect it from the first section (the button on the Headers
toolbar that has an arrow pointing left), and then delete the page
number just like deleting any other character. (If it's in a text box,
delete the text box and its contents.)

Thank you both very much.  I am using Word 2003.  I tried what you what you
suggested I could not find any way to clear the page numbers.  I could
continue with different page numbers starting at 1 again but nothing to clear
page numbers.  When I tried to delete the page number, it deleted them all.

I am working on a document that I only want the page numbering to go only
part way through.  But I don't find anything in help that tells how to stop
numbering without deleting the numbering on the previous pages.  I tried
deleting the individual page numbers but that deletes them all.  Can anyone
help me or can it even be done?

Your page numbers are in a header or footer, right? If not, they should
be. Then you can insert a section break where you want the numbering to
stop. Put the cursor after the break, view Headers/Footers, uncouple
from the previous section, and remove the page number.
