How can I eliminate page numbering in an MS Word document? Using the
"Insert" drop down menu, then "Page Numbering", offers a number of ways to
edit page numbers, but I don't see a way to eliminate them from a document
once inserted.
Thanks.

If the numbers were inserted using Insert | Page Numbers, they can be tricky
to delete safely. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...lyIndented.htm for
instructions.

Which version of Word?

If prior to 2007, go to ViewHeader & Footer, then delete the page number
code as well as any other unwanted content. If the doc uses several pg
number schemes in different sections the content will have to be deleted
from each Footer.

I am new to this version of Wrod. I hit "Insert" for page # and picked a
style. The page # went into the document, but I could not get back to the
main text to keep writing the text of the document. I was stuck in the
footer. Can someone tell me what I should do? Thanks, Sunny

Double-click the main body of the document to close the header and footer
view (or press the close button on the far left of the Header & Footer Tools
ribbon).

Obviously, I meant to write on the far *right* of the ribbon.
