alternating page numbers
In Word 2003 is it possible to set a sequence of alternating page numbers,
e.g., to get the page numbering function to number consecutive pages in one document 1-3-5-7-etc? |

You could use a calculated page number field:
{ = { = 2 * { page } } - 1 } but do not type the curly braces; instead, insert each pair by pressing Ctrl+F9. When you've finished entering the page number field, press Alt+F9 to switch back to display of field results (the page number) instead of field codes.

Thank you. Could you be more specific how to do this? I'm not very technical-minded!

How much more specific do you need? Press CTRL and F9 together for the
bracket pairs {} and type in the rest.. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jake Blazer wrote: Thank you.

Thankd you for clarification, apart from the "how much more specific do you
need?" snide comeback. We're not all Word MVPs. "Graham Mayor" wrote: How much more specific do you need?
