Is there a way to delete all or large groups of page numbers all at once?

[es35]

I am writing a very long book using Word 2011 for a Macbook Air and many of my page numbers in the document do not match the page numbers on the bottom control line (whose name I've forgotten). I know how to delete the numbers individually but it is taking too much time. Is there a way to delete groups or all of them at once? (Word 2011 for mac).
