Word wants odd-numbered pages to have an odd page header (which makes
sense); that's why it adds the filler page.

If you clear the "Different odd and even" option, you can restart page
numbering without getting an extra page.

Ok. I believe I have found the problem.

If I try to start the numbering of an even page with an odd number
(1 for
example) then word will insert a blank page.

So to get around it I have intentionally added a blank page when I
want to
do this.

Thanks for all the help.
