Default Changing Page Numbers

Wally wrote:
I have created a 2 page chart (in another program) which I need to
insert into the final printed document (which I created in Word
2007). Therefore, I need the page numbers, which I have in the upper
righthand corner, to skip 2 pages. Example: 65,66,69,70,etc. I have
tried to insert 2 blank pages as "spacers", but Word tries to put my
footnotes on the 2 blank pages. Any ideas? Word Support seems stumped.


Place a Next Page section break (Page Layout Breaks Next Page) at the
point where the numbering needs to change. Then, with the cursor after the
section break (that is, on the page that is now 67 and should be 69), click
Insert Page Number Format Page Number and set the starting page of the
section to 69.

Be careful -- any editing in the earlier part of the document might change
the pagination so that page should no longer be numbered 69, but having
forced it this way it won't change automatically. You'll have to check the
situation and adjust the setting manually if needed.
