Yes, you can do that.

Open up the odd-page header. Press Alt+F9 so you can see and edit the
field code. Insert a left parenthesis between the = and the page
field, and insert + 1) between the page field and the slash, so the
code looks like this:

{ = ( { Page } + 1) / 2 }

Then press Alt+F9 again to collapse the field code, and press F9 to
update it.

Yes I was wrong at the beginning I wanted it on the Odds page sorry. Is it

It seems you put the field into the odd-page header, not the even-page
header. All the field is doing is taking the "real" page number (as shown on
the status bar) and dividing it by 2. So the numbers you're seeing are 0.5
( = 1/2), 1.5 (= 3/2), and so on. Put the field in the even-page header, and
the numbers will be 1 (= 2/2), 2 (= 4/2), etc.

Note what I said befo
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.

Ex.: the odd page would have no number and the even page would be

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.
