Deleting page number from automatically-created TOC
Greetings. I want to remove the page number from the automatically generated table of contents (TOC). My Table of Content consists of two pages. The first page does not include a page number, as I ...
Thank you for your time. I did as you instructed, but I still get numeral 2 in the footer on the second page of the automatically created TOC. Thank you.
SoheilRS You cannot have followed all of the steps.
Upload a copy of the document to a sharing site (such as OneDrive or Dropbox) and provide a link to it so the we can see exactly what it is that you missed.
- Dear Doug,
The problem I mentioned in my previous post only occurred when I used Word's Farsi version to create my front matter and manuscript.
I had divided my front matter into sections. The automatically created table of contents was two pages long, and its second page had the numeral 2 in the footer. In order to get rid of it, I divided the table of contents by inserting a section break at the end of its first page. The numeral disappeared, but another issue arose: My TOC ended on page 5, an odd-numbered page, and Microsoft Word automatically inserted a blank page after it. Only the print preview showed this page.
As a result, I chose to use Page Break instead of Section Break for all front-page matter pages, except that I used a section break to separate my table of contents from the body of my manuscript. To my surprise, it worked. The extra blank pages and the numeral 2 in the footer have been removed.
Again, I truly appreciate your taking time to assist me. Many thanks. SoheilSoheilRS Your problem was almost certainly caused by the incorrect use of Section Breaks and\or the various types (Different First Page, Different Odd and Even) of Headers and Footers, possibly with not setting up those Headers and Footers.
