SUMMARY
To create all odd-numbered or all even-numbered page numbers in a Microsoft Word document (for example, 1,3,5,7... or 2,4,6,8...), use a formula field ({=}) in conjunction with a PAGE field ({PAGE}).



MORE INFORMATION
To create all odd-numbered page numbers, insert the following field in the document header or footer:

{={page} + {={page} - 1}}

To create all even-numbered page numbers, insert the following field in the document header or footer:

{={page} + {page}}

NOTE: If you want to number each page the same way throughout all sections, add page numbers before you add section breaks. However, if you already added section breaks and want to add page numbers, position the insertion point in the first section of the document and then insert page numbers or the fields mentioned earlier in this article.

NOTE: To create the field braces "{}", press CTRL+F9.

For more information about formula fields, click Microsoft Word Help on the Help menu, type formula fields in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topic.
