How can I make pages with no numbers...

[Guest]

How can I make pages with no numbers while others have numbers? Because often
times in books I see that on a new chapter the page number is not shown, and
some of the pages before it have unshown numbers as well. So how do I do this
whenever I want?

Also, how can I choose the font for the page number? Like, maybe have
Verdana as the font, times new roman, or any installed font. Just how would I
choose it?

To answer your first question-

Make sure that Header and Footer toolbar is active. Go to the desired page
and from the toolbar select 'Format page number'. On the dialog box under
'Page numbering' select 'Start at' and enter your page number. For example
you go to page 2 and follow the above steps and enter start at 2. With this
you will not have the page number on Page 1, but you will have the page
numbers from page 2 onwards.

To answer your second question- double click on your page number (it may be
in the header or footer), you can now see the header/footer editable while
rest of the page is disbaled. Here select the page number and format it just
like text in the document with desired font , size etc.

Hope this helps.

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm for the general
principles of working with headers and footers. The usual way to have a page
without a header/footer/page number is to use the "Different first page"
setting (described in the article), then leave the First Page Header/Footer
blank. To do this for each chapter, you must insert a Next Page section
break between chapters.

You can change the font of page numbers manually, by selecting them and
applying formatting, but the correct way to do this is to modify the font of
the Header or Footer paragraph style or of the Page Number character style;

What you will describe will not omit a page number on page 1 but will in
fact start the numbering with 2 on page 1.
