SUMMARY
To create all odd-numbered or all even-numbered pages 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 pages, insert the following field in the document header or footer:

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

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

{={page} + {page}}

NOTE: If you want to number each page in the same way throughout all sections, add page numbers before you add section breaks. However, if you've 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 above.

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