Default Skip page number every other page

I have a large document and I would like to skip the page numbering
every other page. So start at page 1, next page no page numbering, page 2,
no page number, etc.
I know you can delete the link between the pages, but than you have to
insert the page numbering by hand. Can I do this so the page numbering is
done automatically?

Thumbs up Answer: Skip page number every other page

Yes, you can skip page numbering every other page in Microsoft Word without having to manually insert page numbers. Here's how:
  1. Open your document in Microsoft Word.
  2. Click on the "Insert" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  3. Click on the "Page Number" drop-down menu in the "Header & Footer" section.
  4. Select "Format Page Numbers" from the drop-down menu.
  5. In the "Page Number Format" dialog box, select "Start at" and enter "1" in the box.
  6. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.
  7. Double-click on the header or footer of the first page where you want the page number to appear.
  8. Click on the "Different First Page" checkbox in the "Options" group of the "Design" tab.
  9. Click on the "Page Number" drop-down menu in the "Header & Footer" section.
  10. Select "Current Position" and choose a page number format that you like.
  11. Click on the "Close Header and Footer" button in the "Close" group of the "Design" tab.
  12. Double-click on the header or footer of the second page where you want to skip the page number.
  13. Click on the "Different Odd & Even Pages" checkbox in the "Options" group of the "Design" tab.
  14. Click on the "Page Number" drop-down menu in the "Header & Footer" section.
  15. Select "Remove Page Numbers" from the drop-down menu.
  16. Click on the "Close Header and Footer" button in the "Close" group of the "Design" tab.
  17. Repeat steps 12-16 for every other page where you want to skip the page number.

By following these steps, you can skip page numbering every other page in your Microsoft Word document automatically, without having to manually insert page numbers.

Check the "Different odd and even" option (Layout tab of the Page Setup
dialog box)for headers and footers and then insert a page number for the odd
pages only.

So you want pages numbered as follows:
page 1 numbered as 1
page 2 not numbered
page 3 numbered as 2
page 4 not numbered
page 5 numbered as 3
page 6 not numbered
page 7 numbered as 4
etc. If I understand the question correctly, then:

In Word 2003 or earlier, open your document, click on
File | Page Setup | Layout tab | check the "Different
odd and even" box | OK. In the odd-page header or
footer where you want the page numbers to appear,
insert a calculated page number field:

{ = { = { page } + 1 } / 2 }

but do not type the curly braces; instead, insert each
pair by pressing Ctrl+F9. When you've finished entering
the page number field, press Alt+F9 to switch back to
display of field results (the page number) instead of
field codes.

Note, however, that calculated page numbers will not display in a table of
contents.
