insert unnumbered blank page
I want to insert an unnumbered blank page into my Word document in order to
make my final chapter begin on an odd-numbered page.There would then be TWO consecutive unnumbered pages, the second unnumbered because it is the first page of a new chapter (section). Having checked "Different first page" on the Layout tab of Page Setup, I was able to achieve two consecutive unnumbered pages only by inserting a second consecutive "Section Break (Next Page)." But this somehow threw off the page numbering. The first page of the last chapter suddenly became 57. It had been (correctly) 83. Did I, among other things, inadvertently break the connection between sections? Is there a better way for a novice to insert a blank, unnumbered page into a document? Thanks! |

insert unnumbered blank page
Edit the style for the chapter title. Select paragraph, and under the Line
and Page Breaks tab check the Page Break Before box.

insert unnumbered blank page
Word can automatically start on an odd page or even page. Define for every chapter a new section. Insert/Break../Section break type and select Odd page. Every new section (=chapter) starts then on an odd page. HTH, Henk Brian;2158678 Wrote: Edit the style for the chapter title.

insert unnumbered blank page
As "Henk57" wrote, use an odd page section break; for an existing
section you can change the type of section in File | Page Setup, Layout tab. Also enable either "Different odd and even" or "Mirror margins" in File | Page Setup, to ensure that Word correctly adds a filler page as needed. To take care of the page numbering: In the Format Page Number dialog box for the newly created section, set the numbering to "Continuous" (as opposed to "Start at"). To access the dialog box, click the Format Page Number button on the Header and Footer toolbar. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "cliffhanger314" wrote in message ...
