Duplicate Page Numbering in Word?

S

I need to set up Word pages that number the pages in pairs sequentially. The
result for a 10 page document would be 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5.

Any ideas?

Hi

View > Header and Footer. In the header or footer, create several fields to
look like the following:

{ = int ( { = { page } / 2 + 0.5 } ) }

Note that you must type the ( ) parentheses using the keyboard. But you
can't type the {} braces with the keyboard. You must use ctrl-F9 and type
between the braces that Word inserts for you. Once you've typed the field,
use F9 to update it, or ctrl-a F9 to update all fields in the document. And,
Shift-F9 toggles between the display of field codes and the display of the
result.



So you'll have have three pairs of braces: outer, middle and inner. One way
to do this is to work from the inside out. Do ctrl-F9 to give you the inner
set, and type page. Select the whole lot and do ctrl-F9 again, for the
middle set. Add the = and the /2 + 0.5. Now, select the lot again and do
ctrl-F9 to create the outer set. Add the = int ( at the beginning and the )
at the end.



Hope this helps.
