Note that it is not conventional in publishing to have any text at all on
such blank pages. However, if you are required to print, e.g., "This page
intentionally left blank," see

Given that a blank page will be inserted, can I get a header and footer to
display on that page, rather than it being completely blank?
Thanks

Word does not allow you to insert an odd page number on an even page if
you
have turned on "Different odd and even".

You have told Word that you want different even and odd pages. Page 6 is
an
even page (6 is an even number). When you set the page number of page 6
to 1,
you also ask Word to change the page to an odd page (because 1 is an odd
number). Therefore, Word inserts a blank page 6 in front of the page that
you
changed to number 1 (which can be seen in Print Preview).

What I want is section 1 - Title page, one page no header or footer
Section 2, four pages front matter, arabic numbered ii-v, different odd
& even
Section 3 starting on 6th page numbered 1, different odd & even

If I have a section break (even page) at the end of section 2 I can get
section 3 to start on page 6, but the numbering won't start other than
at 2.
If I have section break (odd page) or section break (next page) at the
end
of section 2, my third section starts on the 7th page with a blank page
on
the 6th page.
I can't establish what causes the blank page, or how to get the
numbering to
start at 1 if I use my section break (even page)
Can anyone help me with this please?
