Problems with Page X of Y numbers

I think that the "X" and "Y" in "Page X of Y" are fields. You can see fields in the document by typing Alt-F9. (Type Alt-F9 again to hide them.)

You can delete fields in the headers with a for loop.

Code:

Sub delete_fields_in_header()
    Dim x As Integer, num_fields As Integer
    num_fields = ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Fields.Count
    
    For x = num_fields To 1 Step -1
        ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Fields(x).Delete
    Next x
End Sub
