Go to the options-tab of that page, and uncheck the "show in menu"-box.

Hello Peter,

Could a "section header" (rather than ordinary "content" page) head you hidden section not shown in the menu ? May be it is styled another way ?

Yes Pierre, it's a bit funny, but very close to my problem. So, I do not open a new thread.

I would like to create pages under a parent (that is in the menu). I do not want them to appear in the menu. It works as you said... Until now it is OK.
But. The "down-arrow" appears in the menu beside the parent and I do not want it.
So, create a page under a parent without arrow in the menu.
I do it, because I would like to keep the page under the parents (just to see it belongs to it and keep them in order).
I have several pages that can be accessed through a page (parent) but I do not want to show them in the menu (nor the arrow)
I hope it was not funny questions. 
Regards,
Peter

What I normally do in these situations is:
a) create a section header and mark it as 'not shown in menu'
b) create all of the children under this section header, and make sure they are marked as 'show in menu'
c) create a link in the parent and point it to the first child of the section header created in step b above.

in essence you'll get something like this

1.0 Parent Item 1 (content)
2.0 Parent Item 2 (content)
3.0 Parent Item 3 (link to  4.1)
4.0 Parent Item 4 (section header, not shown in menu)
    4.1 Child item 1 (shown in menu)
    4.2 Child item 2 (shown in menu)
    4.3 Child item 3 (shown in menu)
5.0 Parent Item 5 (content)

Then you may have to adjust the menu call in the child pages to work properly

ah, that's the standard has_children() problem in menu manager.  it reports an item as having children even if they are all marked as 'don't show in menu'.

it wouldn't be hard to whip up a UDT to handle this.....
