Number only the Odd (or Even or Select) Pages
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. -Tony |

Greg,
Your { =({ Page }+1)/2} code works great! Thanks for that. There's one more issue though. When I hide the Instructor Notes (for printing) the pages automatically renumber and I end up with pages numbered 1.5, 2.5, etc. I'm pretty sure I knew where to find a setting in Word2000 turning off the auto-updating of fields but can't find it in Word2007.

Tony,
Before you print save as a new file. Open the file slecect all (CTRL+a) then CTRL+Shift+F9 to unlink fields. Tony wrote: Greg, Your { =({ Page }+1)/2} code works great! Thanks for that.
