Page numbering on Even page only
Is it possible to put page numbering on Even page only and that only the even
page are included in the calculation of the page numbering. Ex.: the odd page would have no number and the even page would be 1, 2, 3, ect.. Thank you |

The first step is to go to File Page Setup, on the Layout tab, and check "Different odd and even". That gives you two separate series of headers and footers, one on the odd pages and another on the even pages. You're going to put visible page numbers only in the header (or footer) of the even pages, leaving the odd header blank. The second step is to insert a special field in the even header. If your document or template doesn't have a second page yet, insert a manual page break (Ctrl+Enter) to give it one so you can access the even header. Then click View Header and Footer. Make sure you can see the words "Even Page Header" in the upper left corner. If not, click the Show Next button on the Header/Footer toolbar to get there. Type the following in the header paragraph: = Page / 2 Select just the word Page and then press Ctrl+F9. Then select everything from the = to the 2, and press Ctrl+F9 again. This makes a formula field that contains a Page field; with the field delimiter braces it should look like { = { Page } / 2 } Press F9 to update the field, which should now show the number 1. Click the Close button on the Header/Footer toolbar, and delete the manual page break if you inserted one. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

It seems you put the field into the odd-page header, not the even-page
header. All the field is doing is taking the "real" page number (as shown on the status bar) and dividing it by 2. So the numbers you're seeing are 0.5 ( = 1/2), 1.5 (= 3/2), and so on. Put the field in the even-page header, and the numbers will be 1 (= 2/2), 2 (= 4/2), etc. Note what I said befo Make sure you can see the words "Even Page Header" in the upper left corner. If not, click the Show Next button on the Header/Footer toolbar to get there. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Louise wrote: OK I did that and the page number show 0.5, 1.5, ect.....

Yes, you can do that.
Open up the odd-page header. Press Alt+F9 so you can see and edit the field code. Insert a left parenthesis between the = and the page field, and insert + 1) between the page field and the slash, so the code looks like this: { = ( { Page } + 1) / 2 } Then press Alt+F9 again to collapse the field code, and press F9 to update it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Wed, 16 Feb 2005 15:07:04 -0800, Louise wrote: Yes I was wrong at the beginning I wanted it on the Odds page sorry.
