insert a page without changing the numbering

[KatherineArcus]

Hello,

I'm working with a script in Word. We have pages numbered automatically in
the footer. I would like to be able to insert a page and call it, for
example, page 5B, without changing the numbering of the subsequent pages. Is
this possible? And if so, how do I do it? AND (because I'm being difficult)
is it the same for Word for PC and Word for Mac? I need to be able to do it
in both.

Thanks!

Katherine

It will work pretty much the same on both platforms.

No, you can't really do it, because Word doesn't think in "pages."

The best you could do would be to create new Sections for the inserted
pages and turn off Continue Page Numbering from Previous Section, and
hand-number the inserts, and then restart the numbering with the
continuation number in the third section.
