Delete Random Numbers in Word Document

[Guest]

I am formatting a book for print. I have page numbers, outside edge, mirror
image, at the top of each page. I want all chapters to begin on an odd
numbered page. When skipping a even numbered page to begin a new chapter, how
can I delete that even number from the top of the page, leaving a blank page,
without deleting the entire page number scheme? Any help offered will be
greatly appreciated, I'm going nutcase trying to find a solution. Rainyman

At the start of each chapter, insert an 'odd page' section break. The
preceding skipped page, if any, will be completely blank.

Thanks for the information, Jezebel. I clicked on the chapter heading of page
61 and tried the 'odd page' section break to delete the preceding page 60. It
left me with page 60 and 61 became page 4. I don't know if it makes a
difference, but my Word program is bundled into the Office 2003 package.
Thanks again for trying to help. Rainyman

Remove your own page 60 (ie just insert the section break at the end of the
previous chapter, wherever that falls). Word inserts a blank page if
necessary when you print the document.

To fix the numbering: with the selection in the subsequent section, go to
Insert > Page Numbers. Click Format. Select 'Continue from previous
section'.

Jezebel, it was you. Many, many thanks, you solved my problem. You are indeed
a Word genius. Appreciate your help. Rainyman

'Word genius' is an oxymoron. 'Harmless drudge' perhaps.

Only in its purest form. In any case, with a handle like Jezebel I doubt the
'harmless' part. Thanks again, you saved me a lot of P.Oed time. Rainyman
