How in the hell do I remove page numbers in Word?

I added a Landscape page and now my page numbering is all messed up. I have three pages number 27. Fuck Microsoft. Can't they make this idiot-proof?

All I had to do was to restart numbering after the page I inserted.

2. Print it out and use whiteout...

Ah, the good old days of electronic typewriters and printouts. You young whippersnappers have it easy! :P

3. I'm pretty sure

You'll have to go to the header, turn off the page numbers. Save it. Then add the page numbers back on -- but wait until you are sure you are completely done.

That happened to me once and since I just wait until the document is complete before I bother with page numbers.

6. I wound up having to restart page numbering at the page after the one I inserted.

Now I have to go do it again.

9. I think that's me.

Sometimes I just get too tired to figure things out.

10. With valentine's day coming up

I'm being reminded that even if they made love idiot-proof, I'd just improve my idiocy in that field. :P
