Another question. I was wondering if there is an easy way to format
Word 2003 document so certain pages would be skipped in the page numbering
(I mean not counted, like 3,4,page without number,5,6,...)


If you want real page numbers (i.e., what Word pulls up when you create
a TOC), then you need sections to separate, say, a continuous bunch of
pages from the next empty page. Then you can tell the 2nd section to
start renumbering at 4, and not showing the page number on its first page.

If you want only to *show* the numbers that way on the page, you can get
away with an IF-THEN-ELSE construction (one more branch for every empty
page you have).

Something like this:

{ IF { PAGE }5 "{=1+{ PAGE }}" "{ PAGE }"}
