Deleting page numbers from certain pages

Is it possible to delete certain page numbers? I.e. How can I remove page
numbers e.g. from pages 2 and 50 without deleting other? I would really
appreciate if someone could help me.

One way is to use a conditional field in the footer (header).
Something like this should work:

{ IF { PAGE } = 2 "" { IF { PAGE } = 50 "" { PAGE } }

Note that each pair of field delimiters must be inserted with
Ctrl+F9; you can't just type them in.

There appears to be a field delimiter missing from Stefan's version - which
I couldn't get to work. Although not strictly necessary with fields I much
prefer to use quotes to delimit the various parts of a conditional field as
it makes it much easier to see what is supposed to happen. In this instance:

{ IF { Page } = 2 "" "{ IF { Page } = 50 "" "{ Page }" }" }

will work.

True. I see now that I left out the final }. Thanks for
pointing this out!

This indeed seems to be a useful link!

Please forgive my ignorance, but where do I put this code if I want to
repress the page number? I have one page that I don't want the page number to
print.

thank you

You put this field code wherever you would otherwise put the page number
(header or footer).

So to supress page 121

{ IF { Page } = 121 "" "{ Page }" }

I tried this but it didn't work.

Did you use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field braces?

{ IF { PAGE } 121 { PAGE } }

Don't type the curly braces. Enter the curly braces by pressing
Ctrl+F9.

Yes I used Ctrl+F9. do spaces matter? Should there be any?
