MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / June 2004How can one create facing (mirrored) page numbers
Dear All, I am trying to create a document which will be printed in booklet format. Hence, I require that odd page numbers be place on the right side for example and even page numbers to be placed on the left side of the page. How can that be done? When searching for "facing page numbers" I got some tips of how to do that in publisher, but not in Word. I would be grateful for any tips that you might have. Oh, I am using Office 2003. In Word, from the File menu, select Page Setup and then go to the Layout tab and check the box for "Different odd and even" Headers and footers and then set up the page numbers in the desired position in each of those headers or footers. You probably should also type the word "booklet" into the Help control in the top right hand corner of the Word screen and then press Enter and you will come up with a number of topics to do with creating booklets Booklet for products and services Create a right-to-left folded booklet etc.etc.  SignaturePlease post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

The easiest way is to use Insert | Page Numbers and select the "Outside" position, but this method puts page numbers in frames, which can sometimes cause problems, especially if you want other text in the header/footer. A better approach, as Doug suggests, is to check the box for "Different odd and even" on the Layout tab of Page Setup. This gives you separate odd and even headers and footers. Use paragraph alignment or the built-in tabs to position the page number fields. -- Suzanne S.

File/Page Setup/Margins, in the "multiple pages" dropdown. (In older versions it was a checkbox, and therefore more easily discoverable) Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 8 2004) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) I'm not following you, Cindy. Under "Multiple pages" you can choose "Mirror margins" and "Book fold." I assume "Mirror margins" is what you're referring to since "Book fold" was never a check box. But merely selecting "Mirror margins" doesn't automatically give you alternating page number placement. And in fact "Mirror margins" doesn't work correctly with "Book fold" ("Book fold" automatically gives you "Inside" and "Outside" margins, but they're reversed), which is what the OP is probably going to need eventually anyway. -- Suzanne S.
