Page numbers at bottom of columns
I have a document in Landscape format with two columns on each page.
(Effectively 2 A5 sheets to a page). I would like to be able to insert page numbers at the bottom of each column (the document is actually a talk I am giving) but can't find how to do this. Is there a way, or is there another method to get Word to print 2 A5 pages on one A4 sheet and thus get "proper" page numbers? Thanks |

Page numbers at bottom of columns
If you have Word 2000 or above, by far the easiest way to do this is to use
the "2 pages per sheet" option in the Page Setup dialog (not the one in the Print dialog). This allows you to create what are in effect separate A5 pages (with their own margins, header/footer, page borders, etc.), but they will print two to a sheet. Note that if you're trying to create this in booklet format, then you need to use "Book fold" (in Word 2002 or 2003) or some other technique (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...etPrinting.htm). -- Suzanne S.

Page numbers at bottom of columns
In later versions of Word, there is an option in the FilePrint dialog to
specify the number of pages per sheet of paper. With what you have already, to get the page numbers as you want them, use the following field constructions: For the odd pages { = (2 * { PAGE }) - 1 } For the even pages { = 2 * { PAGE } } You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert the field delimiters { }, Alt+F9 to toggle off the display of the delimiters, and F9 to update the fields. -- Hope this helps.
