placing even page numbers on predetermined odd pages.
i have a document that includes many figures. the document is being printed
double sided and the figures are being printed seperatly and added later. right now i have accounted for the figures in my document by adding blank pages. this way, the page numbers won't be wrong. the problem is that text is going to be double sided but the figures are going to be blank on the back side (the even side). the page number that would normally go on that page is going to be placed on the next page. the result is an even number on an odd page. the program does not like to put the even number on the odd page so i end up with extra pages automatically added to account for this. when i print, my double sided pages are incorrect. i understand to add section breaks to start a new page number on a new page, but it's the odd/even thing that is the problem. is there any way to turn that off so word doesn't recognize that there is an even number on an odd page? |

Hi Lindsey
What you are trying to do is unconventional. Normally with double-sided printing the right-hand (facing) pages are always odd numbered, even if they have a completely blank page before (have a look at some printed books). I'd recommend you simply follow the 'rules' g. If you can't do that and your right and left pages use the same headers, footers and margins, you can probably cheat by turning off the 'Different odd and even' and 'Mirror margin' settings,. Word then has no way of guessing you are printing duplex and won't insist on the odd/even alternation. If you have different odd and even page layout, then you will surely want the 'odd' layout on the right hand page which is what Word will give you. But you could still cheat on the page number by using a field to calculate the number to display. (The field code would be { = {PAGE} - 1 - where { } are the field delimiters.) A calculated page number will not appear correctly in the TOC, however. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "lindsey" wrote in message ... i have a document that includes many figures. the document is being printed double sided and the figures are being printed seperatly and added later. right now i have accounted for the figures in my document by adding blank pages. this way, the page numbers won't be wrong. the problem is that text is going to be double sided but the figures are going to be blank on the back side (the even side). the page number that would normally go on that page is going to be placed on the next page. the result is an even number on an odd page. the program does not like to put the even number on the odd page so i end up with extra pages automatically added to account for this. when i print, my double sided pages are incorrect. i understand to add section breaks to start a new page number on a new page, but it's the odd/even thing that is the problem. is there any way to turn that off so word doesn't recognize that there is an even number on an odd page? |

I agree with Margaret. There are two conventional ways of handling
illustrations of this type: 1. Continuous page numbering including the illustration. Inserting *two* blank pages manually would take care of this; if you're using a section break anyway, you can make it an Odd Page break, following a single blank page. 2. Continuous page numbering ignoring the illustration. This is the way "tipped-in" illustrations (such as glossy plates in books printed on text paper) are handled. In lists of illustrations, their location is described as "Facing page x." If you choose this route, your text can be continuous because you don't have to allow for the figures at all. -- Suzanne S.
