even odd number problem
My doc is a book. I have even odd pages, both for headers and for page numbers which are in the footer. The chapters are separated by section breaks (next page). Each chapter starts with a 'new fi...
Hello Stefan_Blom,
Whether I replace my 'next page' section break with and 'even page' or an 'odd page' break all my page numbers disappear entirely.
If I change the layout option from 'new page' to 'continuous' the section breaks disappear altogether.

Hello Doug_Robbins_Word_MVP (MVP)
Thank you!
This means that I would upload it to OneDrive and share the link only with whoever would help?
I can probably figure out how to do that.
It is at this point an unpulished manuscript and we represent the author so I wouldn't want to post a public link.
I could also send it via email to whoever is taking a shot at it.
One alternative solution I haven't been successful with either is to insert a blank page before each chapter starting on even pages so that every section starts on an odd page. The book will cost a couple of cents more to print but that's okay with me.
I spent hours with a Microsoft Word help person who didn't know what odd even was or what printed book page numbers looked like.- On the alternative of inserting a blank page after chapters which end on odd pages, I also have to remove both the header and footer from the blank page. I disable the 'link to previous' before trying to do that, but then it removes ALL the even page numbers.
