Is it possible to put page numbering on Even page only and that only
the even page are included in the calculation of the page numbering.
Ex.: the odd page would have no number and the even page would be 1,
2, 3, ect.. Thank you


Hi Louise,

There are two steps to this.

The first step is to go to File Page Setup, on the Layout tab, and check
"Different odd and even". That gives you two separate series of headers and
footers, one on the odd pages and another on the even pages. You're going to
put visible page numbers only in the header (or footer) of the even pages,
leaving the odd header blank.

The second step is to insert a special field in the even header. If your
document or template doesn't have a second page yet, insert a manual page
break (Ctrl+Enter) to give it one so you can access the even header. Then
click View Header and Footer.

Make sure you can see the words "Even Page Header" in the upper left corner.
If not, click the Show Next button on the Header/Footer toolbar to get
there. Type the following in the header paragraph:

= Page / 2

Select just the word Page and then press Ctrl+F9. Then select everything
from the = to the 2, and press Ctrl+F9 again. This makes a formula field
that contains a Page field; with the field delimiter braces it should look
like

{ = { Page } / 2 }

Press F9 to update the field, which should now show the number 1. Click the
Close button on the Header/Footer toolbar, and delete the manual page break
if you inserted one.
