If you want your chapters to start on right (odd-numbered) pages,
simply insert an Odd Page section break before each of them. Also,
make sure that you enable the "Mirror margins" option on the Margins
tab of FilePage Setup.
Once you have the desired section formatting, you can proceed to work
with page numbers.
The type of numbers is determined for each section; whether
page numbers display or not depends on settings for headers and
footers. You can have up to three different headers (and three
different footers) in each section if you check "Different odd and
even" and "Different first page" options on the Layout tab of
FilePage Setup. This allows you to control where page numbers (and
any other header/footer contents) display in a given section. For

I had split my document into two sections, the first with no first
page
numbering, and having Roman numbers, and the second section with
first page
numbering, and with Arabic numbers.
Because my document is to be printed and bound - with double pages -
I have
to insert some blank pages in order to get my chapter headings on
the right
page. I want these blank pages before the chapters to have no
_visible_ page
number, but nevertheless count as a page.
For instance, I want page II to be blank (except the copyright
stuff), and
the next page to be III, as the first visible page number. One would
think
that the only thing to do was to split the document into more
sections,
letting the blank pages be a section of its own with no paging. But
that
doesn't work. If found out that the problem is that my document
already has
page number formatting. Removing the page numbers does not help, as
it simply
removes the numbers, not the formatting. At the left corner in Word,
it still
says "page IV", "page 17" etc., even though the numbers aren't
there. I've
tried to remove the "same as previous"-function in the
headers-footers, but
that doesn't help at all. When I insert a section break after page
II, and
insert page number to start with III, both the front page and what I
want to
be page III are numbered as III. When I remove the page numbers from
the
first section (which only has the pages III and IV), all page
numbers from
the entire document disappears, even if they are in seperate
sections and do
not have "same as previous" in the header/footer. I am very near at
giving up
now. Please help.
I suspect that removing all page formatting, and then split sections
and
break the connection first, _then_ page number them would help. But
the page
formatting seems to be saved in the document - I cannot remove it
(by
removing the page numbers).
