Remove page number from selected pages in Word

This is in response to the query posted by a reader that “How to remove a page number without removing all page numbers ”.

Word 2016, 2013 and 2010 have a feature that allows users to remove page number for selected pages alone. The option is know as “Section Break” and it is available as part of the Page Setup menu. For example if you have 5 pages in a document and want to remove the page number for the 4th Page then you can follow the below mentioned steps.

Step 1:- In the Word document, scroll down to the page with number as 4.

Step 2:- Navigate to Page Layout menu then click the Break menu option under Page Setup section.

  5. Thanks so very much! i browsed through several blogs but this was the most easiest to follow.
    thanks again!!

  6. Thanks. I have managed to break my document into sections. I can leave the title page plank. I have put roman numerals on one section. I have put ordinary numbers on the remaining pages.
    But I need to have an un-numbered chapter title page before each chapter. Is it possible t do this and still have the page numbers flow smoothly from one chapter to the next.
    e.g. Chapter 1 ends on page 7, followed by Chapter 2 title page with no number, can I then get the next page to automatically continue with page number 8?

    Thanx alot.

  9. Got as far as step 5. “Link to Previous available under the Header & Footer Tools.” not active as selection. Why has Microsoft made such an obvious option so complicated to perform. Truly frustrating software. As most Microsoft products. No help to find in Help menu, as usual.
