Numbering a whole document in only odd or even numbers

[Dr. J]

I have two different style documents (arabic and english), that is a right
and left gutter. And it is needed that they are printed face to face and the
page number would flow. Accordingly, the way i thought of is numbering the
pages of one document as odd numbers and the other even and then print. I
even could not do that and somehow stuck?!! any ideas

You can use calculated page numbers in the header (or footer)
for each of the documents. For the odd-numbered document, use
this field: { = { PAGE }*2 - 1 } and for the even-numbered
document, use { = { PAGE }*2 }.

Note that each pair of field delimiters, { }, must be added by
pressing Ctrl+F9; then type the code as shown. Press F9 to update
the field construct. To show/hide field codes, use Alt+F9 (if
necessary).
