Removing page numbering from a document that has been set to include them automatically

[juliagc]

I am updating an indesign file. I can not get rid of the page number which must be part of style.  It appears on top of the green section.  How can I change numbering from  automatic to manual? Many thanks.

The page numbers are usually on the Parent Pages. 

Why do you want to change it to manual? What are you trying to do?

Hi Eugene
Thank you for your reply. I am designing a pack of cards. I need numbers on
the front but not on the back. At the moment numbers appear automatically
in all of them.
What can I do?

You need to set up a parent page with no page number for the back of the card.

Easiest is to duplicate the parent page (A Parent), remove the page number from the new parent page (B Parent), then apply the B Parent to the pages that are the backs of the cards.
