insert unnumbered blank page
As "Henk57" wrote, use an odd page section break; for an existing
section you can change the type of section in File | Page Setup, Layout
tab. Also enable either "Different odd and even" or "Mirror margins" in
File | Page Setup, to ensure that Word correctly adds a filler page as
needed.
To take care of the page numbering: In the Format Page Number dialog box
for the newly created section, set the numbering to "Continuous" (as
opposed to "Start at"). To access the dialog box, click the Format Page
Number button on the Header and Footer toolbar.

...
I want to insert an unnumbered blank page into my Word document in
order to
make my final chapter begin on an odd-numbered page.There would then
be TWO
consecutive unnumbered pages, the second unnumbered because it is the
first
page of a new chapter (section). Having checked "Different first page"
on the
Layout tab of Page Setup, I was able to achieve two consecutive
unnumbered
pages only by inserting a second consecutive "Section Break (Next
Page)." But
this somehow threw off the page numbering. The first page of the last
chapter
suddenly became 57. It had been (correctly) 83. Did I, among other
things,
inadvertently break the connection between sections? Is there a better
way
for a novice to insert a blank, unnumbered page into a document?
Thanks!
