If you want your chapters to start on right (odd-numbered) pages,
simply insert an Odd Page section break before each of them. Also, make sure that you enable the "Mirror margins" option on the Margins tab of FilePage Setup. Once you have the desired section formatting, you can proceed to work with page numbers. The type of numbers is determined for each section; whether page numbers display or not depends on settings for headers and footers. You can have up to three different headers (and three different footers) in each section if you check "Different odd and even" and "Different first page" options on the Layout tab of FilePage Setup. This allows you to control where page numbers (and any other header/footer contents) display in a given section.

I had split my document into two sections, the first with no first page numbering, and having Roman numbers, and the second section with first page numbering, and with Arabic numbers. Because my document is to be printed and bound - with double pages - I have to insert some blank pages in order to get my chapter headings on the right page. I want these blank pages before the chapters to have no _visible_ page number, but nevertheless count as a page. For instance, I want page II to be blank (except the copyright stuff), and the next page to be III, as the first visible page number. One would think that the only thing to do was to split the document into more sections, letting the blank pages be a section of its own with no paging. But that doesn't work. If found out that the problem is that my document already has page number formatting. Removing the page numbers does not help, as it simply removes the numbers, not the formatting. At the left corner in Word, it still says "page IV", "page 17" etc., even though the numbers aren't there. I've tried to remove the "same as previous"-function in the headers-footers, but that doesn't help at all. When I insert a section break after page II, and insert page number to start with III, both the front page and what I want to be page III are numbered as III. When I remove the page numbers from the first section (which only has the pages III and IV), all page numbers from the entire document disappears, even if they are in seperate sections and do not have "same as previous" in the header/footer. I am very near at giving up now. Please help. I suspect that removing all page formatting, and then split sections and break the connection first, _then_ page number them would help. But the page formatting seems to be saved in the document - I cannot remove it (by removing the page numbers). |
