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.

For more information about formula fields, click Contents And Index on the Help
menu, click the Index tab in Microsoft Word Help, type the following text

  "field codes: =" (without the quotation marks)

and then double-click the selected text to go to the "Field codes: = (Formula)
field" topic. If you are unable to find the information you need, ask the Office
Assistant.
