There are different options: 1. Use the default page format and modify the Footer tab, tick the Footer on option and deselect the Same content left/right option. Now insert Fields .. Page number on page 1 Only odd pages show page numbers. This is only useful if the rest of page formats are constant. 2. Use the Right Page and Left Page formats and update the Next Style on the Organizer tab So for Right page use Left Page as the next Style. This way you can have each format have their own Header and Footer I have been trying to do so. The information I am trying to print in this manner comes as an attachment of an e-mail.

I took the question to mean "how to number the pages to be only 1, 3, 5 etc". My method will do that. Brian Barker's method will print only the odd numbered pages. Depending on the operating system in use, the print dialogs in use and the exact printer, there is sometimes an option (possibly on the Page Layout tab of the /File /Print dialog) to print only odd or even pages.

To print just alternate pages of a document, you do more or less what you have described. In the Print dialogue, under "Range and copies", click the Pages radio button and enter the list of required pages as "1,3,5,7,9" or whatever (no quotes). I don't see any way to indicate "only odd pages" without specifying them explicitly. If you want to do this, the odd-numbered pages must presumably be clearly identifiable as different in some way. It might be easier to edit out the original even-page material - probably in a copy of the original document - leaving just the material that you need to print. If your real purpose is to be able to print the material double-sided, there are often easier ways to achieve this. Incidentally, your Subject header, "numbering of pages", doesn't fit this question. Are you perhaps asking instead to be able to number the pages of your document with odd numbers only - so that the second page is numbered "3", the third page "5", and so on? There are ways to do that. The information I am trying to print in this manner comes as an attachment of an e-mail. I don't see that the source of your material matters, in fact. I trust this helps.

Thanks, Brian -- but that Option was already unticked. In that case, you may have to explain what you mean by "automatic numbering". Can you reproduce this by typing in a new document? How? Anything else? Paragraph styles can have associated numbering styles. Are you using such a paragraph style? Or have you applied a list style - which can have numbering as their format?
