Page number position
I have a long document with various margins and several sections. I am
trying to achieve the following: 1. No page number or heading on even pages where there is NO TEXT. 2. Page numbers in the first 5 sections to be cantered but in the last sections to be on the outside edge, again with no header or page numbers on blank even pages. The help files say the page break formatting is for the PRECEDING section, but it seems to set up the following section. I really could use some clearer heads. |

Page number position
The key to your query is that you need to insert section breaks at the
boundary of each page and format the various sections. This will allow you to change such things as picture and landscape format, justification, margins and the layout of headers and footers - all the things that you may want to do normally. I'm not sure how your requirement at point 1 can be accommodated automatically. Certainly your main requirement at point 2 is a matter of formatting the various sections but page numbering is a bit of a pig. I hope that helps! Regards.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...rontMatter.htm for the
general principles. For the blank even pages, use an Odd Page section break. -- Suzanne S.
