Default Page Numbering

On a long document word has decided to add numbers to the bottom of the page as well as the ones I have in the top. How do I get rid of this extra number? I tried to delete it in footers but it stayed! Help!

Hi Lorin6,

There are two ways of inserting page numbers - via Insert|Page Number and via Insert|Field.

If you (accidentally) insert a page numbering scheme via:
. Insert|Page Number, Word will place the page number field inside a floating textbox in the footer. To delete the page number in this case, you should select it, which makes the textbox visible, then select the textbox's border and delete the textbox.
. Insert|Field, Word will place the page number field in the footer, without the floating textbox. To delete the page number in this case, you should select the page number field, then delete it.

Cheers

Actually a frame, but everything else is correct.
