Page numbers have been inserted into the document I'm typing. There are a few
pages within the document that I do not want to have page numbers. When I try
to delete the page number on that page, all page numbers from the entire
document are deleted. What can I do to delete a page number on just one page
within a document?
Page numbers are a section property, so one solution is to insert section
breaks around the page where you don't want numbering and remove the PAGE
field from the header/footer in that section after unlinking it from the
previous and following sections (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/PageNumbering.htm).
But there are other solutions as well. Sometimes using "Different first
page" will accomplish what you want; see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm. Or if you want to skip
numbering for a specific page where the page number is known but section
breaks would be awkward, you can use a field such as { IF { PAGE } = x ""
"{ PAGE }" }, which tells Word to put nothing if the page number matches the
one you've specified (x) and otherwise to print the page number.

Thanks. I've done the section breaks and was able to delete the page numbers
from selected pages; however, when I did this, the page number moved up on
all pages creating a 1.25 bottom margin instead of a 1 inch margin. How can I
correct that?

Make sure you don't have any empty paragraphs in the footer (this is easier
to tell if you have nonprinting characters displayed).
