Hello,

I'm printing a document in a double sided format, and these pages are numbered. Is there a way that the numbering doesn't take into account the blank pages. How can I do that?

Thank you
 
Could you describe the blank pages more? Why are there blank pages? You can remove page numbering from blank pages...but I am trying to get the relevance to double sided printing.

Are you duplex printing?

Hi fiuPikeOY,

I assume you're using Word, in which case, page numbering doesn't really have anything to do with printing. Rather, it's a function of your document's layout.

If you need to suppress page numbering on certain pages (eg because they're blank), the easiest way is to insert a 'next page' section break at the end of the last page on which numbering is required, unlink the header/footer containing the page number in the new section, then delete the page number field.

If you're doing this in the middle of the document and later pages need numbering to resume, you'll need to have another section break at the end of the section to be unnumbered, unlinked of course, and delete the page number field only from the 'middle' section.

Cheers
