How do I remove/delete page numbers?

Question

I just want to remove all the page numbers from my document. It tried out a bunch of page number styles and now they are all in my document. How do I just remove them all without having to do it manually?

Thanks for your response. I want the pages to number as a footer in the centre, and not in sections. There appear to be no sections set (I can click each page individually and it doesn't highlight yellow with any other pages). It seems that each type of page I insert (title, table of contents...) each has a different format, and the numbering is just staying the same for each TYPE of page (i.e. all the title pages are in a certain font and say "2").
Looking at one of the word processing templates, I notice a button on the tools bar is for inserting Sections, and if you insert individual pages using this button, then each page is a separate section. That would explain the yellow rectangle enclosing only single pages. If I'm correct, it also means you'll need to go through the document from the top, setting the first section where the format is to apply to the correct format, then setting each succeeding one to Continue (page numbers) from previous section, and to Use previous headers and footers.
The long-term lesson in this is to always Save a copy before experimenting with formating (and before making any other changes that could be difficult to undo).
