Default Problem automatically inserting "This page is intentionally blank.

Hello,

We have some procedures documents and manuals that use odd-page section
breaks to separate chapters. Obviously, when a chapter ends on an odd page,
Word adds a completely blank page before the next chapter. In order to
eliminate this problem, we'd like to add a page with the mention "This page
is intentionally blank." at the end of any chapter with an odd page count.

I found a great article on the MVPs site by John McGhie:

It works great on some of our documents, but on others there is a problem.
Some of our documents use section page numbering. I'm not 100% certain of
exactly what's happening, but I'm pretty sure that the MOD operator is
misinterpreting the page numbers. For example, if my chapter ends on page
1-5, the MOD operator seems to be calculating 1 minus 5 = -4 and dividing
that by two, which returns the result "0" instead of "1". I've also tried an
alternate method using the INT operator I found on word.tips.net:

This didn't work either. I've been racking my brain trying to find a
solution to this. Does anyone have any suggestions (short of changing the
page-numbering scheme)?

Thanks!
