controlling display of page numbers

[Toni Marie]

I'm trying (desperately) to get the following to work:

=if MOD(PAGE,2) > 0 page ""

and I'm running into all sorts of problems...

E.g. PAGE is not recognized unless I add it as a bookmark (but it doesn't
always stay).

Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

My bigger problem, which this would solve for me, is to take a single word
document, with multiple sections, some in Portrait orientation and some in
Landscape orientation, and to have it numeber the entire document as though
it all were in Portrait orientation with the numbering scheme being "book,
outside".

Thanks!

PAGE needs to be within field brackets, if you're talking about creating a
field to display this. Ctrl+F9 to insert a pair of field brackets.

My bigger problem, which this would solve for me, is to take a single word
document, with multiple sections, some in Portrait orientation and some in
Landscape orientation, and to have it numeber the entire document as though
it all were in Portrait orientation with the numbering scheme being "book,
outside".

Set the sections to NOT use "Same as Previous" for the headers and footers.
Then create the Landscape header/footer in a table or frame, rotated 90 / 270
degrees. Save it as an AutoText entry so that you can insert it quickly and
easily. Note that you'll want to insert the page number directly into the
header/footer (NOT use the Insert/Page Number command to do so).
