MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / March 2008Turn off page numbers in 2007
In Word 2007, how can page numbers in the footer of only the last two pages be disabled? The document is a 134 page magazine. The first two pages, the cover and the inside of the cover, already do not have page numbers in the footer (I started doing this in Word 2003 and it was a snap to do), page 1 starts on the third page of the document, the pages are laid out using even/odd margins but I just can't figure out how to disable page numbers in the footers of the last two pages. I'd appreciate a pointer in how to do this.

Probably the simpler way is to insert a section break between the last page that should have a number and the first of the two unnumbered pages at the end. Then, with the cursor in the footer of either of the to-be-unnumbered pages so the Header & Footer Tools ribbon is present, click the Link to Previous button to turn it off. Delete the page field from that section's footer. The more complicated way is to replace the page field in the footer with this monster (which allows for the fact that the displayed page numbers are already 2 less than the "physical" page numbers because of the restart on page 3): {if {page} = {sectionpages} "" {if {page} = {= {sectionpages} - 1} "" {page}} Each matching pair of field delimiters must be inserted with Ctrl+F9. Also note that if there are other sections in the document, the field would have to be even more complex. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. Thanks for the information. However, I was unable to implement the instructions because, well, the Word '07 interface has defeated me. I have invested hours into trying to figure out how to insert a section break and just can't quite figure out what magic keystrokes or mouse clicks are required to implement this particular magical incantation. I would greatly appreciate it if your were to try to explain again but this time keep in mind that I'm a programmer with some 25 years doing Windows (I was one of the original OEM Windows implementers) and not a Word '07 literate person. Accordingly, explicit step by step, keystroke by keystroke, mouse click by mouse click steps explained in words of 1 syllable or less would be a good idea.

OK... - Put the cursor to the left of the first character on the first of the two pages that should be unnumbered. - Click the Page Layout tab of the ribbon. - In the Page Setup group on that ribbon, click the Breaks button. In the Section Breaks part of the menu, click the Next Page item. You probably won't see anything different (unless the first word on the page isn't the start of a sentence, in which case the grammar checker will mark it as needing capitalization). - Click the Insert tab of the ribbon, click the Footer button, and choose Edit Footer from the bottom of the dropdown gallery. - The Header & Footer Tools ribbon will automatically appear. In the center of that ribbon, click the Link to Previous button to turn it off. In the footer, the blue tag that says "Same as Previous" should disappear. - Select the page number in the footer and press the Delete key. - Double-click in the body of the document to close the Footer pane. >Thanks for the information.

Thanks! That was a perfectly expressed set of instructions for this brain damaged programmer!
