page numbering on odd pages only?
I have a strange request - I need to create a template
which will have text on both even and odd pages (printed duplex) but only have page numbering on the odd pages, starting from 1 and continuing as per normal (not only 1,3,5...) Alternatively, if there's a way to edit the page numbering so that it increments by halves, so I'd see 1, 2, 3, 4... on the right and .5, 1.5, 2.5... on the left, that would work too. Any suggestions? I really don't want to have to type in page numbers manually to get this accomplished. Thanks! |

You can do this, albeit with a caveat: calculated page numbers will not show
up correctly in an automatic TOC. 1. Your second request is actually the easier one. Just put { = ({ PAGE } + 1)/2 } in the Header or Footer. 2. For the first, check the box for "Different odd and even" on the Layout tab of Page Setup and put the same field in the Odd Page Header/Footer. The pairs of field delimiters (the things that look like braces but can't be entered from the keyboard) must be inserted using Ctrl+F9. -- Suzanne S.

When I try entering { = ({ PAGE } +1)/2 }, with the
outside curly braces created by CTRL+ F9, I get: !Syntax Error, { What did I do wrong? |

Press Ctrl+F9 to insert a pair of braces. Type the required text up to the
opening parenthesis. You can then use the Insert Page Number button on the Header and Footer toolbar to insert the { PAGE } field (or you can press Ctrl+F9 again to insert another pair of braces), which you follow by typing the rest of the text. Then F9 to update and Alt+F9 if necessary to toggle the field. -- Suzanne S.
