Charles and Ulodesk: Thank you both so much for your help. I fixed it. I took my two hundred page document and saved it to my desktop as a different file - then scrolled down the entire document and deleted everything but one page. I was going to attach this page to this posting - the actual thing, not a print screen - and then, by the time I did all that, I had a document that was one page and not my thesis, so I could just play around with it without fear of messing it all up, haha! And it was then, that I simply figured it out. And as always, it was SIMPLE, SIMPLE, SIMPLE. I just went to INSERT on the ribbon and then I had chosen a page number style that had the page number plus three dots for affect or whatever. So, I just chose page number without the three fancy dots and presto, 3 dots times 200 pages = poof, 600 dots gone!!!!!!!! Presto! So, thanks so much to both of you. And I've learned a valuable resource - this forum, which I have never used. Don't know where you guys are (I'm on the east coast), but cheers and thanks again!
