Page Numbering with Paper Size Changes cjt (cjtully[ at ]gmail.com) 23.02.2006 13:41:03 I have a document that flips back and forth between legal and letter size paper. The document is to be duplexed such that each section starts on the front of a page and the pages are numbered according to their position in the section ( {Page} of {SectionPages} ) Whenever there is a section break to force a paper size change I seem to have to specify that the following section starts on an even page in order for the duplex printing to work correctly and have that section start on the front of the page. I am assuming this is because Word forces an implicit break whenever the paper size changes. However, when I have this even page break, the page numbering for the section is messed up in that it thinks the first page number for the section is even (i.e. pg 2). This is a dynamically created document so hard-coding page numbering is not really an option. Any ideas??

Re: Page Numbering with Paper Size Changes "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 23.02.2006 14:47:32 I'm not sure I understand what's going on here. Ordinarily the odd page is the "front" of a page (recto) and the even side is the back (verso). Even if your printer prints in reverse order, I would guess that this would be Word's understanding of the situation. If not, perhaps choosing "Reverse print order" would be more helpful. In any case, Word will insist on the first page after an even page break having an even number (and the same for odd page breaks and numbers). -- Suzanne S.
