Inserting a "This Page Intentionally Left Blank"

For printing/repro purposes, I need to insert blank pages at the end of docs
that have content ending on an odd-numbered page.

When I add a blank page to the end, the "Page X of Y" is incorrect because
Word is counting the final, blank page. For example, if I have three pages
of content and a final fourth, blank page, Word displays "Page X of 4";
however, there are in fact only *three* pages requiring numbering.

Is there a way that I can add the blank page while preventing Word from
incrementing the "Y" total pages value?

Thx...

You could put a bookmark at the end of your content, before that last
page break, and then cross-reference the page number for that
bookmark.

(The main problem with this solution is that it is going to be fairly
easy to accidentally delete that bookmark or to insert content after
it without realizing that it is no longer at the end of your content.)

Hi Hans,

A field coded as:
{IF{=MOD({PAGE},2)}= 1 {QUOTE 12}}
will automatically insert a page break if it occurs on an odd-numbered one. To have the new page display your blank page text, you
could code this as:
{IF{=MOD({PAGE},2)}= 1 "{QUOTE 12}¶

This page intentionally left blank"}

To get the same effect for an even-numbered page, change the '1' to '0'.

Note: the field braces (ie '{ }') are created in pairs via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them. You can also substitute a standard
page break for the {QUOTE 12} field.

Cheers

Why not leave them numbered? The fact that it has no content other than the
message does not mean it's no longer a page, and indeed, it is a countable
object.
