Some of the material already has page numbers which are inconsistent with my manual numbers. How do I get rid of all page numbers so I can start from scratch without having to enter about a hundred pages?     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top           garfield-n-odie [MVP] 10/22/2007 7:14 PM PST   Answer   Page numbering is a section property. When copying material from other documents, avoid selecting section breaks. In your manual document, delete unnecessary section breaks, and then delete the unwanted page numbers from the header or footer of the remaining Word section(s).
