page numbers

How to remove all page numbers. At this moment they are on both the top and bottom of each page.
Clicking in the header and footer areas does not remove them. Word Help is no help at all.

Clicking in the Header and Footer area is not sufficient: you have to OPEN
the Header/Footer partition using View>Header and Footer.

That takes you out of the test and into the part of the file that stores the
headers and footers.

Then you can get at them.

There is a Help topic " Add or remove page numbers", but as you say, it's
"no" Help...

Cheers

Er, if you are in Page Layout view (is this called "Print layout" in Word
2008??), John, you can simply [double] click in the Header and Footer area
to open it.

Yeah, you spend all your time in Normal/Draft view.... ;-)

Pshawww!!! Infernal Antipodean...

"Clicking" = Single Click = Not Enough!

A double-click will get you there, if you get lucky and hit exactly the
right spot.

Then again, if the document does not HAVE a header, double-clicking won't
work...

It's quite confusing if you hit it for the first time, which is why I
recommend "View>Header and Footer", except in Word 2007 where the menus went
away {sigh...}

Huh? Dbl-Click in the top or bottom margin of a blank document or one with
no H/F content works fine here... Or am I mistaking your point?

Say what???

If your in the right view when you move mouse above the blank Cursor at
start of page or above the first text in a document that has something
typed a little icon that looks like a scroll will show. Double clicking
anywhere in that area will make the Header Footer menu Come up. This is
in Word 2004 or 2008.

In Excel 2004 or 2008 if you have gray cell lines shown; a box above
the first line of cells in print mode will show. Scroll mouse pointer
anywhere in this area and double click and the header footer menu
becomes active. in Words case it just one large Dotted line box
extending the width of the page and about 2 lines long. In excel its
divided into three boxes you can put info in all three and they will
left justified to the corresponding box unless changed to right center
or left.

Oh! Very good

My Windoze are showing again

Last time I tried that, in some flavour of WinWord, double-clicking a
non-instantiated header would not open it, because it didn't exist.

Seems (at least in Word 2008...) they have fixed that one..

Forget I said anything
