To Paul - yes I had the same as previous option off - thanks though

To Tony, I looked at the link you sent and it was the same instructions as in help, but thank you as well

What I did end up doing was this: I removed my existing footer which was my page numbers and started from scratch. I first entered the odd/even header and then put in the page numbers in the footer. I have no clue as to why it worked this way, but wish I thought of it sooner! What I had done was the opposite and then when I tried to add the odd/even header it was removing my even page numbers and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why (and I still didn't!). In any case it's fixed and thanks for your input!
