Remove Page Numbering from Specific Pages in Microsoft Word | Remove Page Numbering From Section

In this video I demonstrate how to remove page numbering from specific pages in a Microsoft Word document. You might want to remove page numbering from the first page or middle pages - the steps are the same. I also demonstrate how to continue page numbering from the last numbered page.
Table of Contents:
00:00 - Introduction
00:35 - Show section number on status bar
00:57 - Insert a section break
01:57 - Unlink section footers
03:53 - Continue page numbering from last numbered page
------------------------

At last someone explains why the numbers wouldn't do what I wanted! This was the first video which even mentioned "sections" which is essential to understand to get the numbering correct for Amazon publishing if you want the contents to come before page 1. The quietly-spoken, slow but not too slow commentary was a great help.

[@chukksy]

Thank you! Saved me a lot of hours trying to figure that out. This is ridiculously complicated for such a simple action. I wonder if it was so difficult for UX team just to add an option to Hide page number on the selected page.

[@paulinengland1]

Brilliant, Chester ! This is the best tutorial I could find on this topic. You set it out logically, at a good pace, and with great clarity. Thank you !

[@Marquetica]

I asked chat gpt multiple times and it never helped me and I yelled at it. So I went frustrated to UA-cam and this is the first video that I clicked on and it is genius! In less than 5 minutes I had it done!

[@mjhufford7968]

As everyone else said, this description is clear, concise, and easy to follow! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this tutorial!

[@lynnleague4393]

Finally...I found someone who explained this clearly! It took me at least an hour to find this and you made it easy too. I won't forget you and thank you!

[@ilTALA]

This is the best page numbering tutorial I've ever seen so far.
Thank you so much for making me understand that "sections" are the key.

[@angelatibbles2746]

Wonderful. Not only tells you what to do but why. This way it all makes sense. Also it is explained at a decent pace, rather than zipping through. Thank you so much.

[@BenjamminRoberts]

Beautiful tutorial. Easy to follow and straight to the point, much appreciated!

[@jordanyuro9904]

Great tutorial! It took me almost two hours of trying to figure it out on my own before throwing in the towel and searching online for the solution lol. I am glad I found your video.

[@Zerksis79]

This has always been such a pain, but this video made it very simple. Thank you!

[@ello_ello]

Thank you so much. I watched a few videos before this one and couldn't get it until you explained how sections work and how the page numbers correspond. Thank you for explaining /why/ this method works. Super easy to follow, all at a perfect pace - your tutorial is a lifesaver!

[@karismilacci2514]

This was so helpful! Very concise and straight to the point! Thanks!

[@piretkivi3218]

Thank you so much!!! I have been suffering for hours. Finally an easy and straightforward tutorial. Before finding this I was ready to start learning programming (some tutorials actually recommend it).

[@Geoffrey_Lesayo]

So powerful information, conscientious, and straight to the point. It is also intelligible, unlike some content whose owners seem to be in a rush to hide some concept. This video is educative, Chester. Thank you

[@starduck2]

THIS is a tutorial! I watched about 4 different ones to remain in doubt before getting this one!

[@MelissaNinen]

Thank you! Finally figured out page numbering in WORD!

[@seaycyp]

By far the best explanation out there. After so many videos, I've finally managed to sort my pages. Thanks ever so much!

[@WMDbooks]

OMG! Finally! So simple, yet so difficult to find this information. Thank you!!

[@doecolorado]

Thank you, and thank you again. I watched several videos and could not master the section page numbering until I watched your video. Thank you for going slow and explaining what to do and why.

[@christolulope5915]

Thank you so much!!! straightforward with ease. This is the best page numbering tutorial I've ever seen

[@tedpolhemus6111]

Wasted a huge amount of time before I found this - huge thanks (the trick is that you are aware that a lot of people like me will need to have things explained which experts would know)

[@heythereangie]

THANK YOU! This is the most straightforward tutorial I have found on how to do this.

[@halinagold]

BIG THANKS! I've been struggling with this and could never understand how it worked. You made it perfectly clear and easy to fix my manuscript. 🙏

[@latentfuss711]

Microsoft Word is trash. It makes such a basic, commonly used paper formatting technique into some kind of esoteric puzzle to unlock. Anyway thanks

[@jeezhuu9925]

Agreed.. taking college classes on it right now and it’s so infuriating how complicated they make accessing everything for literally no reason bro.. like why.

[@cyecaudle9419]

If I had a dollar for every time I've had to turn to UA-cam to figure it out. Now top it off with trying to use it on mobile...

[@big-bad-wolf1511]

Thank you so much! Finally I got the complicated issues solved.

[@TheWiscoKid]

Awesome! I was looking all over the place for this answer and nobody was posting the correct solution. Hopefully I can remember this for next time. Thanks a ton!!

[@user-lk8kd7xw4y]

I've watched multiple videos and spent hours trying to figure out why I couldn't delete the numbers from section one and have the roman numbers start in section 2 and then arabic numbers in section 3 in my dissertation. I just couldn't figure it out. It was as simple as making sure that my section one wasn't linked to my section 2. This video was super helpful! Thank you!!

[@user-yy9iq5to5g]

This really helps me I encountered this just before I am about to submit my thesis And Alhamdulillah it works.

[@salmanabdul-one6071]

Sir, this is by far, the best Ms word tutorial i have ever watched. you solved my problem spot on. I would also like to point out that your video nomenclature is spot on. The heart ache of searching for videos and watching the wrong thing because the name of the video doesn't accurately describe what the video does..... If i had my way, you would receive and award for this. I think you should make a class for youtubers on how to name videos. Thank you so much Chester. I have subscribed and am looking forward to more videos from you.

[@tomza7183]

Such a boss! Thanks for best explanation!

[@amitojgautam6106]

Very useful. Thanks a lot.

[@Michaelzehr]

Thank you! I thought I was stupid for a while... but the other searches and videos hadn't explained what sections are, how they work, how to see which one you're in, and how and why to link or unlink them.

[@jafarkasoma9289]
