Default Page Numbering - Can I ignore hidden text

I have a training manual created in Word (Office 2003 SP2)
I need two versions; one for the student, and with extra content for the
instructor.
I set it up as one document with the extra instructor content styled as
hidden text.
I choose the version to print by turning the extra content on and off.
That bit works great.

My issue is that the page numbering changes when hidden text is on. I guess
that's reasonable, since there are now - for example - 64 pages instead of
32. But the problem is that an instructor can't tell his class to "go to page
x" because their manuals are working on different numbering systems.

So, is there any way of not numbering pages with hidden text (the simplest
solution) or preventing repaginating, or is there a good workaround such as
setting up each pair of pages as a chapter and pretending that is the page
number?! Or any other ideas you have that might help.

I have checked out some of the MVP pages on numbering, but couldn't find (or
perhaps just couldn't understand) the info I need. Any help appreciated,
