Windows 10: Pagination

I am working in Word on a Mac. I have a book in which I would like to begin pagination at the eighth page. I put in page numbers for all pages. I put in a page break and after the break, was able to begin page numbers at page 8. I then went into the section before the break to delete the prior page numbers. When I deleted a number, all of the page numbers in both breaks were deleted. Any idea how I can keep page numbers after a break, but delete the page numbers before the break?

Thank you for your response. I looked at the websites you suggested but these did not directly work. However I was able to get the pagination I was looking for by working around the suggestions. I have to use Crt+Fn+F9 to create the first set of brackets
but can only remove them by right clicking inside teh brackets and choosing 'toggle' This seems to work

I frequently use automatic pagination (Page x of y pages) On my new laptop I use Ctrl-Alt-F9 to get a field code for pagination. What I cannot due is remove the field code. On my old computer this was done by keying F9 -- this now
returns me to a screensaver as does Alt9. I would appreciate help

Many thanks

Hi Ray

I am Vijay, an Independent Advisor. I am here to work with you on this problem.

CTRL+ALT+F9 should work as a toggle. Try pressing it again to remove pagination.

Do let me know if you require any further help on this. Will be glad to help you.
