[...] Or perhaps you mean that you want to suppress it for a single
page only? (I'm having to do a lot of guessing here!) If so, you
need to have a different page style (either with no footer or with a
footer not containing a Page Number field) for that page - different
from that used for other pages.
Sorry for not being more specific. I am talking about the Writer, and
I do want to suppress it in a single page of the document, so it won't
appear, while still being there (i.e. if, say, I want to suppress the
appearance of page number 12, I still want the next page to be page
number 13). So how do I remove the footer of page 12 only?
Just as I said above. (How could you miss it?)
o Go to Format | Styles and Formatting (or click the Styles and
Formatting button in the Formatting toolbar, or press F11).
o In the Styles and Formatting window, click the Page Styles button.
o With the cursor into one of your normal pages, click the button at
the extreme right ("New Style from Selection") and select "New Style
from Selection" from the drop-down menu.
o Give your new style a name ("No page number"?). You have created a
copy of your existing page style (Default?) with a new name.
o If you prefer to remove the footer completely from your rogue page,
right-click the new style name in the Styles and Formatting window, and
then Modify... | Footer. Remove the tick from "Footer on".
o At the end of the text on page 11, go to Insert | Manual Break...
Select "Page break", and select your new page style from the drop-down
menu under Style.
o At the end of the text on page 12, go to Insert | Manual Break...
Select "Page break", and select your original page style from the
drop-down menu under Style.
o If you prefer to have a different or empty footer on your page 12
(and you didn't remove the footer from your new page style above), you
can now edit the footer on page 12 as you wish.
An alternative to the page break after page 12 is to set your original
page style as the Next Style on the Organizer tab of your new page
style. Then the page style will change at the page 12-to-13 boundary
without an explicit break there.
If the contents of your document mean that there is no natural place to
insert a page break between pages 11 and 12 - if the text just flows
over, that is - life gets more complicated! But it's unlikely that you
would want to suppress a page number in these circumstances, I think.
I trust this helps.

OK, I solved the problem of inserting a break after the table and before
the next page: I added 1 row to the table, and then split if from the
table. Then I could enter a line of text between the 2 tables, and then
got rid of the second, empty, 1 row table. Subsequently I could follow
your directions, inserting a manual break etc.. There should have been
some code in the table that inserted the page break automatically,
though I had tried to remove it from the Table > Text flow tab.
If only there were a reveal codes screen everything would have been much
simpler...
Thanks,
Eustace
