I need to insert a field on that will increment by 2. For example,
page one is numbered 3, page 2 is numbered 5, etc. Does anyone know
the formula/switch to do this?

Thanks,
Kim

{ = ({ PAGE}*2) + 1 }

I created the field, CTRL F9 then inserted the text as indicated and
did not get a result. Any suggestions?

Did you use Ctrl+F9 to insert the PAGE field as well? You can also use the
Insert Page Number button on the Header and Footer toolbar. And you may need
to Alt+F9 to toggle the field and F9 to update.
