Automatic numbering of page numbers in Microsoft Word is a rather convenient function. It facilitates the preparation of a document for printing, makes it easy to navigate the document and gives you the flexibility to control the appearance and format of page numbering. However, page numbers are put down strictly sequentially, and in many situations it is required to "skip" the page number and place, for example, an advertising image on it.

Step 1
Removing all page numbers is easy enough. It is enough to double-click on any header and footer with a page number anywhere in the document and manually delete the page number, for example, using the Del key. The difficulty lies in the fact that this removes the numbering of all pages of the document.
Step 2
In order to remove a number from only one page, you need to perform several steps in succession. To begin with, at the end of the page, after which there should be a page without a number, you need to insert a section break. To do this, place the cursor at the end of the page, select the "Insert" tab of the main menu and click on the "Break" line in the drop-down list. In the window that appears, mark the line "From the next page" in the "New section" part.
Step 3
Place the cursor anywhere on the page you want to remove the number of. In the "File" tab of the main menu, select the "Page settings" line and click on it. In the window that opens, select the "Paper source" tab. Find the line "First page" and tick it. After that, the numbering from the selected page will disappear.
Step 4
To extend the numbering from another (non-consecutive) page number, in the "View" tab, select the "Headers and Footers" item and in the tool window that appears, click on the "Page Number Format" icon. Check the box next to "Start with" and enter the desired page number.
