anyone know how to change page numbers on word? like instead of going 1, 2, 3, 4, it would go 1, 2, 4, 3?
ive been googling for awhile and i cant find it, something was close to what i want but it lets the page start at 11 from page 1 but then every other page follows as 12 13 14 etc. i tried changing the page number manually but every page would have the same page number i manually changed. can someone help?

just print it and re arrange it?
|
well, yes, i could but i guess im not saying this correctly.
i just want to do it as
1, 2, 4 because 3 is just an other page i am including. so there would be no '3' as a page number.

ugh, is that the only way? making mass blank pages? i guess so.
|
Make page 4 a seperate document?
|
does it print the page number? :O

If your talking about putting page numbers in the footer, you have to make sections breaks after each page, then you can make a different page number in each footer. Its annoying but the only way to do it.

edit: nvm, has already been suggested.

or just cut and paste the papers >.>

page break
then rearrange the page numbers (i.e. in your second section, make the pages start at 4).

Yeah, Word is such a bitch on page numbers
|
LaTeX. No, it's not a real solution if you don't want to spend 100 extra hours learning it. But someone had to say it
|
page breaks! google them
|
yeah this problem has also vexed me

lmao yea.... it's gay. Anyway did you figure it out?
|
well yeah in first page, i just did one page by one page, for some reason page breaks isnt working for me, maybe theres something with margins or w/e so i didnt toy with it. i did page 1 by one print and kept doing it, its not a lot of pages just in between there are a lot of space that got filled. its all good.

=( just put in section breaks, unlink the footers from the previous sections and do it like that
works a charm. i have to do something similar all the fucking time for some of the reports i write due to the absolutely retarded numbering system (no number on the first 2 pages, then ii, iii, then 1 2 3, until the last 2 which go iv and v. seriously wtf?)
|
So have you figured it out yet?
I'm really bored, so here's a walk through for work 2k7 (2k3 is much easier)
Go to page layout on top --> breaks --> section break (choose one, say next page)
Go to second page, double click near footer area, uncheck link to previous
Click format page number, start with 3
That should give you the pages 1 3 4 5 6 etc.
Rinse and repeat for similar stuff.
