Page numbering in Word leaves out the number 12. Why? Help
I didn't intend my post to sound as if Word was being arbitrary. Certainly
the placement of odd-numbered pages is standard, at least for left-to-right languages. Sometimes, though, people really don't care about that as much as they want to avoid blank pages. Word doesn't have any setting to override the behavior. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

There is a reason why Word insists on placing odd-numbered pages on right-hand pages. Here is from http://www.cs.utah.edu/dept/old/texi.../texi_28.html: ´By convention, a book is printed on both sides of each sheet of paper. When you open a book, the right-hand page is odd-numbered, and chapters begin on right-hand pages--a preceding left-hand page is left blank if necessary. Reports, however, are often printed on just one side of paper, and chapters begin on a fresh page immediately following the end of the preceding chapter. In short or informal reports, chapters often do not begin on a new page at all, but are separated from the preceding text by a small amount of whitespace.ˇ Also here is from http://www.wiley.com/legacy/authors/.../6content.htm: ´Part titles always start on a right-hand page. The chapter following a part title begins on the next right-hand page. Chapters may start on left- or right-hand pages. However, many authors prefer to begin all chapters on right-hand pages. Either method is acceptable, but once a system is chosen, it must be used throughout the entire book. It is necessary to stress that all even-numbered pages are left-hand pages (or verso pages) and that all odd-numbered pages are right-hand pages (or recto pages). It is important that you follow this standardized publishing rule.ˇ This is the standard rule of pagination for duplex-printed documents. As a result, documents (or books) often have blank pages when a section ends on a right-hand page, and the next section also ends on a right-hand page. The preceding left-hand page is traditionally left blank. Hope this helps. |
