Brian,
Thanks for your information. First, let me say that the reason I'm doing it
this way is that I'd been using an older computer in which I had Windows XP. I
bought a new computer and the technician suggested using Libreoffice (free of
charge) software for writing, etc. Well, my old files were written in Microsoft
Word. So, I now wanted to use the Libreoffice Writer software to make changes
in the manuscripts. This was where I encountered the problem.
So far as eliminating the footer (page numbers) is concerned, I'd have no idea
how to do this, but it now appears that it's a moot issue, because I got so fed
up with Libreoffice that I downloaded some fairly pricey Microsoft software
that I've already (as of this afternoon) started using. It works beautifully --
smoothly, efficiently, and like a charm.
Thanks anyway for offering to help with the Libreoffice matter. No better than
I am in computer-land, I need some very efficient software that assumes only
minimal computer expertise. It looks as if Microsoft is willing to provide that
-- in the event that we're willing to pay for it.

Indeed it is! And since that is not the way that LibreOffice Writer
behaves, the question is: why have you done it that way?

That depends on exactly how you have contrived to create the problem.
Microsoft Word has some fancy ways of formatting a page number in a
header or footer, some of which will not even save in its older .doc
file format. Have you perhaps used one of those? In any case, it
seems likely that the space available for your page numbers is too
small, so that the text flows naturally to another line when
necessary. You may well find that simply reducing the font size of
the page numbers will solve the problem. Alternatively you may be
able to expand the frame, table cell, or whatever is restricting the text.
In any case, it would be a matter of only a few moments to remove the
existing page numbers (and perhaps the header or footer) and then
re-create them using LibreOffice's own facilities.
I trust this helps.
