Tony,
No promises that the asnwer lies within, but it might:

I am working on a training manual. When laid open, the Instructor's
manual will have the information on the right page with instructor
notes on the left page. Currently, all the Instructor information is
hidden text. But this leaves a blank page and I hate wasting paper.
So I hid the text AND the page breaks. This takes care of the blank
page. However, there is a page numbering discrepancy between the
Instructor Guide and the Student Guide. For example, the Instructor
Guide starts with Page 1 of notes whereas the Student Guide starts
Page 1 of text. It's the same text that is page 2 of the Instructor
Guide. Page 2 of the Student Guide is Page 4 of the Instructor Guide.
It goes like this:
. . . . . . . Student . . . Instructor
Page 1 . Text . . . . . .Notes
Page 2 . Text . . . . . .Text (page 1)
Page 3 . Text . . . . . .Notes
Page 4 . Text . . . . . .Text (page 2)
et cetera
The problem becomes obvious when the Instructor tells the students to
"turn to page 27" which might actually be something like page 13 or
46 depending on whose version you're looking at.
The solution I came up with was simple and elegant: do not number the
Instructor Notes pages. They don't need page numbers anyway.
However, I have not been able to figure out how to force Word to
"skip" pages when numbering. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
