Page Numbering (1,1A,2,2A,3,3A, ETC....

I am using Word 2000.
I am looking for an easy way to do the following.
I have a document that needs to be numbered as follows:
* Page 1
* Page 1A
* Page 2
* Page 2A
* Page 3
* Page 3A
* etc........

The only way I am able to do this is to use a whole lot of section breaks.
When I go to the next section, I have it start at page 2 for instance and
for the next page I just add an "A" after the number.
I then go to the next page/section and have the numbering start at 3 and
then for the next page I just add an "A" after the number.
etc.......

This will lead to problems in the future if I need to delete or add =
pages.

Do you know of any easier way.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

If *every* page needs to be done this way, then it's fairly easy, using
calculated PAGE fields:

1. On the Layout tab of Page Setup, check the box for "Different odd and
even." This will give you separate headers and footers for odd and even
pages.

2. In the Odd Page Header/Footer, insert this field:

{ = ({ PAGE } + 1)/ 2 }

3. In the Even Page Header, insert this field:

{ = { PAGE }/2 }

and type a after it.

The field delimiters (the things that look like braces but can't be entered
from the keyboard) must be inserted using Ctrl+F9, though you can use the
Insert Page Number button on the Header and Footer toolbar to insert the
{ PAGE } field.
