Hiding page number of the selected pages

Asked By Samara Jordan 0 points N/A Posted on - 04/06/2012

I'm having difficulty changing the page number in my document. What happened is when I attempt to hide the page number of the first page everything will be hidden. How to hide the page number of the selected pages only? Please help. Thanks!

Hiding page number of the selected pages

 

Solution-1:  Insert section breaks before and after the "different" pages, turn off the Same As Previous in the header or footer of the "different" section and the section after it, and delete the page-number field from the "different" section.

 

Solution-2:  Another method is to use nested IF fields and page-number fields. For this to work, you need to know exactly the page numbers you want to hide — if later editing makes the text shift to other pages, the fields won't adjust automatically. For the example you gave, the field would be

 

{ IF { PAGE } 46 { PAGE } { IF { PAGE } 47 { PAGE } "" } }

 

You have to build this up by pressing Ctrl+F9 to create each pair of field markers. The advantage of this method is that it doesn't need any section breaks.
