Default Insert formatted "blank" page before odd section break?

I think the field code in that article is the same as yours.

The reason yours doesn't work is that you are using Odd page Section Breaks.
The blank page inserted by Word is truly blank - it does not contain
headers, footers, or anything else, (I guess Word throws two consecutive
page skips direct to the printer when it deems it necessary) so your field
simply isn't there to be evaluated.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...nPgEndChap.htm for code
that reportedly does work.

Word 2003.

I have a long document and I'd like to insert a formatted blank page
before
an odd section break. The typical odd section break creates a truly blank
page, which looks out of place in a long document. I'd really prefer to
have
the headers and footers included.

I have embedded code, but it doesn't appear to work.

{IF {=MOD({PAGE},2)=0} "" "page breakThis page is intentionally left
blank.section break (odd page)"}

First, I use the IF field to conditionally check the page number at the
end
of a section. If it's even, do nothing, else it's an odd page, so insert
a
blank page with some text before starting a new section on an odd page.
{=MOD({PAGE},2)=0} should return 1 for even pages, but 0 for odd pages.

Is there something wrong with the syntax? It keeps printing an
unformatted
blank page w/o the text whenever the section ends on an odd numbered
page.

Any ideas? Thanks.
