Copying code won't work in this case. You have to insert a blank field by pressing Ctrl+F9. This will place two curly brackets {} on your page. Place your cursor within the two brackets and type =2* and then press Ctrl+F9 again. Another pair of {} brackets will be inserted. Type within the brackets {PAGE} and then type -1 inside the closing curly bracket. Then right click on the code and select Update field from the shortcut menu, or press F9. You will see your page numbers.

Brilliant solution given by Stefan.

Thanks for the reply. I clicked in insert text box and dragged this to the bottom on the left of page 1 and copied your code and did the same for the right page. What do I do after this? See attached sample data

Your assistance is most appreciated
