If you look through printed books that begin each chapter on the
recto, you'll find that it's unusual (though perhaps not unheard of)
to put header/footers on an otherwise blank verso.

But there are or were some weird postal regulations about not being
able to get the periodical mailing rate if there are any blank pages
in a publication, accounting for the idiotic "This page intentionally
left blank" notice sometimes seen nowadays.

I have a long document and I'd like to insert a formatted blank page before
an odd section break. The typical odd section break creates a truly blank
page, which looks out of place in a long document. I'd really prefer to have
the headers and footers included.

I have embedded code, but it doesn't appear to work.

{IF {=MOD({PAGE},2)=0} "" "page breakThis page is intentionally left
blank.section break (odd page)"}

First, I use the IF field to conditionally check the page number at the end
of a section. If it's even, do nothing, else it's an odd page, so insert a
blank page with some text before starting a new section on an odd page.
{=MOD({PAGE},2)=0} should return 1 for even pages, but 0 for odd pages.

Is there something wrong with the syntax? It keeps printing an unformatted
blank page w/o the text whenever the section ends on an odd numbered page.

Any ideas? Thanks.
