Default Reverse Page Numbering

Hi,

I'm not sure this can be done, but ... going to ask anyway. XP Pro SP3 and
Office 2002.

Is there a way to reverse the order of pages in a Word document? Last page
becomes first, next to last becomes next, and so on. Instead of 1, 2, 3,
.... the physical appearance changes to 42, 41, 40 ... 3, 2, 1.

I have a Word document which is displayed 'upside down': In other words, the
LAST page is page 1, next to last is page 2, and so on down to the first
page, which is page 42, but at the bottom of the file; last page shown.

This is meant to be an onscreen reference, so printing in reverse order
won't suffice; access is going to be onscreen. I made some brief tests as
simply cutting/pasting the pages into their correct order but quickly got
lost and botched the job; mainly because as soon as you move a page, its
page number changes in Word, so without making each page large enough to see
and comparing next/following pages, one gets lost pretty quickly. Thought
about a macro, move bottom to position 1, bottom to position 2, etc, but I'm
not able to get anything to work. I just don't know VBA well enough.

Any thoughts or ideas on how to accomplish this?

TIA,

Twayne
