How to Remove the Page Number from the First Page


  1. On the Insert tab, click Header > Edit Header (or Footer > Edit Footer).
  2. On the Header & Footer Tools Design tab, in the Options group, select Different First Page.

         


       Note: Different first page can be applied to the first page of any section in your document, not just the very first page.


       3. In the header or footer area, you should see a label on the first page that says First Page Header. Select the page number to highlight it and press Delete, or right-click and click Cut.


       4. Click Close Header and Footer or press Esc to exit.
