No, it appears as if the odd numbers are somehow disabled, since it won't
give you 1 or 3. Perhaps that's because, as you say, you chose "begin at
even page"? Word is just following your instructions.

Odd=1,3,5, etc
Even=2,4,6 etc

Of late , when I click "insert page number", and choose page 1 at "Start at",
my files start at page number 2, rather than number 1. I use msword to
create a journal, format it for page size, margins, etc., and choose "begin
at even page", "show number on first page," first page different", and use
headers and footers. I also notice that options available are odd numbers:
for example if I choose 3, the file starts art 4. It appears as if the even
numbers are somehow disabled. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
