skip a certain line for editing

Hi,

I was wondering if i could get some help with the following question.

In word, is there any way of stopping user to write to the last couple of
lines toward the end of section break.

In every chapter in the document, i have the following code added to the end.

{ if{ =MOD({ PAGE \* Arabic},2)}=0 " " " Page Break-- This page is
intentionally blank}============section break(Next Page)=========

This will help ensure the new chapter always starts on the odd page number.

Now, the problem i have is that user might accidently write something to it
and will cause it not to work anymore if that happens. If the user use the
"Enter" key everytime he/she ends the line, i think that would not create any
issues but If the user uses the up/down arrow key to go to the next new line,
this can be an issue.

For example

I have a new Chapter in the document as follows

Chapter 1 Introduction


<---- note, i deliberately leave three blank lines after Chapter to give
user a bit of rooms to write before the following code
{ if{ =MOD({ PAGE \* Arabic},2)}=0 " " " Page Break-- This page is
intentionally blank}============section break(Next Page)=========

Is there a way of getting around this issue?

BTW, this is for Office word 03

Thank you in advance

Why not just use an Odd Page Section Break?

Thank you for your reply.

I could have used it but the problem is that the page number becomes
inconsistent. I tested it by opening a new document and used the odd page
section break. At first glance, it all worked out really well just the way
i wanted it. However, as soon as added page number in the footer, i got
something like Page 1, then Page 2, Page 3, Page 5, Page 6, Page 7, and Page
9 . It skipped Page 4 and Page 8. I am happy to use this as this turns out
very straighforward. But until someone helps me sort out that issue, i am
tempted to stick to the one i got working but not that perfect.

Thank you in advance

Page numbers are not printed on blank pages, but the pages themselves are
still 'printed', and the numbering reflects that.
