Footer is different from footnotes. Please make sure that footer is what you want. In that case just go to Insert -> Footer -> Default. This will show an empty rectangle at the bottom of each page, it shoudlnt have any numbering unless you want to insert a page number by selecting Insert -> Fileds -> Others -> Page #
