Odd and Even Header with custom numbering
I am self-publishing a book online and I am having trouble putting in an odd and even header and also the relevant page number as a footer. The page numbering starts on the ninth page as page 1. ...
The "Different odd and even" option for headers/footers can be applied via the Page Setup dialog box (or via the header/footer contextual ribbon tab). Note that this setting applies to all sections in a document, which means that if you only want it for part of the document, you will have to duplicate header/footer content in the other sections.
For more on creating a front matter with different or no page numbering, see http://wordfaqs.ssbarnhill.com/FrontMatterRibbon.htm. Section breaks are required, as I'm sure you already know.
