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.

more important to me, but I'm gradually realizing that I'm highly
dependent on text boundaries as well.

I find myself absolutely at sea when I open a copy of Word that doesn't
have both nonprinting characters and text boundaries displayed. Those are
the two changes I make immediately.

Good point.

Having text boundaries displayed in Word makes it easier to see such
page number frames.

Also, if it was inserted via Insert | Page Numbers, it will be in a
frame, and you need to be careful to delete the entire frame to avoid
the "wandering frame" problem discussed in

Double-click the page number in the header (or footer); this activates
the header/footer view. Then select and delete the page number that
you want to get rid of.

Thanks.

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. Especially since the
Paragraph Mark coding is used in some non-roman fonts for actual
letters, so they appear in the cells rather than faint circles.

The following macro applied to a button will toggle the text boundaries

Sub Boundaries()
With ActiveWindow.View
.ShowTextBoundaries = Not .ShowTextBoundaries
End With
End Sub

The following will toggle paragraphs and tabs display. If you only want
paragraph marks toggled, remove the tabs line

Sub ShowParasAndTabs()
With ActiveWindow.View
.ShowTabs = Not .ShowTabs
.ShowParagraphs = Not .ShowParagraphs
End With
End Sub

Thank you ... now, this is weird!! As soon as I put the title of the
new macro, "ShowParas," into the box for the title of the new macro, a
pre-written macro appeared in the box at the bottom, and all I had to
do was OK it!

The same, however, did not happen when I tried to make another one for
ShowTabs. I had to paste Graham's six lines and delete the
ShowParagraphs one.

And unfortunately there aren't any ideal icons in the available
collection ... I used the green right-pointing triangle for Paras and
the fat blue right-pointing arrow for Tabs.

So, is there a bunch of ready-to-go macros sitting somewhere, such
that if one only knows their name, one can just pop them into use?

Actually is is "ShowPara" and it is a built-in Word command. For whatever
reason there is not, or a least doesn't appear to be, a built-in Word
command for ShowTab.

They are called built-in Word commands and the list is available using the
Macro dialog/Macros in dropdown.

You can add practically any icon to the QAT

?! But a couple of items in that list are things that people posted
special macros for me for! (BibliographyCitationtoText,
BibliographytoText -- when the commands in the respective frames
ceased working for me.)

There's also one called "Create Bibliography from Sel." ??

(As for making new buttons, as you say on that page, "difficult and
complex." Though now I know why I have a "Custom UI Editor" folder on
my desktop. Left over from a previous time you referenced this
procedure.)
