Default Creating an Updated Document IBM Style?

There is no 'simple' way to do this. My suggestion would be to edit the
document as normal. Then extract page 14 and the new additional page
(currently 15) and in a new document, manually number them Page 14 and 14a.
Issue those two pages as an amendment with an amendment slip to insert. But
eventually, it will be necessary to reissue the whole document giving it a
new Revision number.

The 'correct' document could be made available on the company intranet for
anyone needing to see it.

I don't think Word does this but I thought I'd pose the question anyway.

Suppose one creates a document and it is page numbered. At some point, one
wants to update the manual. Let's say put in a new page after #14. Instead
of producing a doc renumbered, why not produce a page sequence like: ...,
14, 14a, 15. IBM did this with their manuals many years ago. Maybe they
still do. The beauty of this is that one only needs to put one new page in
the document, and not reprint the entire document. Of course the TOC or
index may need a similar adjustment. It sure would save reprinting
manuals.
