In Pages - How do I delete a page number from an imported Word doc?

I was sent an email with a six page WORD document attached. The attachment opened in Pages. Most of it is good, but there are page number characters in the wrong place. I cannot do anything to them. They seem to be outside the document text, off to the right side and only partially showing. Definitely not at the bottom where they should be seen. Going over them with the cursor does not allow me to select and delete these numbers. I thought they might be in footnote format and in the Inspector I unchecked Header and Footnote, which did nothing to help.
Also, I've tried without success to just go and add my own page numbers which might work, but then will need white-out or similar to remove the old page number.
Working in Text and PDF format did not work, either, and I do not have Word.
Unfortunately, I've spent hours on this and really hope somebody has a good suggestion on how to deal with these characters.
Thanks

Just to clarify, once you have done this you still need to use the command key and 'lasoo' the object from off the edge. So full process (in version '09 4.3) is
Format > Advanced > Make Master Objects Selectable
Then put your mouse to the edge of the page, press CMD key and drag to select the offending item. Then it will appear with a box around and can be deleted.
Thanks to all who posted these tips - I was pulling my hair out over a client document!

How do you delete a phone number from an iphone that is listed under other and not in the contacts list?

When I text a contact in my iphone 4s the name will show up like it should but it has the persons current phone number and another or their old number listed under other. Its not in my contacts on my laptop anywhere so how do I delete that old number, I have looked in my phone contacts its not there but its like the email addressess show up to if you start typing an email address will show up even if its not one in your contacts.

Did you manage to resolve this issue?
I called Apple Care, tried various things that did not work, then completely reset my iPhone 5 and restored from a recent backup. That worked for a day or so, then the definct "other" number was again offered when I started typing the name of a contact whom I wanted to text.

How do I delete my current number from showing up on my old iPhone 5?

So my girlfriend and I both upgraded our iPhone 5 to the our new iPhone 6. We backed up both phones and transferred everything to the new phones. I was thinking about selling the phones but I noticed that my current number is still on my old phone and my girlfriends number is still on her old phone. The number is located when
I tried researching this but nothing seems to work. I did the Settings/General/Reset/Erase all settings and content. I have tried doing it through iTunes. Its like the phone is ready to be set up as new, and everything is cleared on the phone except our numbers. We are not signed into iCloud. I even signed on to my iCloud account on my girlfriends old phone but her number still shows. Its very frustrating.
Bottom line, is I am trying to get rid of our current phone numbers that are still on our old iPhones. Everything works perfectly on our new iPhone 6.
EDIT: I just realized that our old iPhones still says Verizon on them. Do we possibly have to deactivate the phones some how? If so, how do we do that?

Yes I was going through the activation process on both phones. Weird thing is I did the same thing for my daughters old iPhone 4 (which I was going to use as an iPod) and her number cannot be seen. Her phone doesn't show "Verizon" on it either.
I thought about keeping my girlfriends old iPhone 5 as a gym iPod and when I go through the start up process, and using my apple ID, iCloud info, it still shows HER number.
So I have couple more questions:
If I decided to keep my girlfriends old iPhone 5, should i transfer in my sim card from my old iPhone 5?
I might give my old iPhone 5 to my brother. Should I give it to him without a sim card and let him get his own?
Why does both phone 5's say Verizon, and my daughters iPhone 4 doesn't?

I am trying to delete pages I have crated in numbers, but can only see them in print preview. Without print preview I do not see them. How can I delete these pages, but keep others before and after?

Hi Crushed,
Numbers doesn't have pages. It has a canvas that holds objects such as tables and charts.
Drag the objects from the bottom of the canvas onto the white space above. That will reduce the number of "pages" (sheets of paper) that will print.

Ian.

How do I delete some pages from an existing pdf file?

I have an existing pdf file that is too large to send to some people. How can I delete some pages from this existing pdf file, and break it up into two files?

Acrobat
You can download a 30 day trial at that link.
You may also be able to do it with CreatePDF, but I'm not sure.

How can I delete a page I've entered into a Dashboard Window

How can I delete a page I've entered into a Dashboard Window?

If by "page" you mean a Dashboard Widget, then it's simple:
Open Dashboard (F4 on my keyboard) and in the lower left corner you'll see a cross in a circle. Clicking it enables add/delete mode and all possible adds show up at the bottom of the screen while all currently added Widgets stay where they are but get an X in a circle attached to them. Clicking on the X deletes the Widget.
hope this helps

How can you delete a Pages document from your Ipad but keep it on your MAC?

You will need to keep them in folder on your hard drive somewhere other than in iTunes or they will be deleted from iTunes if you delete them from the device. I have a folder on my Mac called iPad Pages Documents - very original don't you think!
Here is the support article that explains it all.
