Did you use Ctrl-F9 for all 4 pairs of field braces?

Macropod,
Thanks for your last post. Sorry, I think I did it wrong. I went to the area in the footer where I need the "FP" page number to display and then hit CNTRL + F9. This made a left and right brace automatically appear. In the middle of these two braces I pasted your code below in its entirety:

{IF{=MOD({PAGE},2)}= 1 "FP-{PAGE}"}

If I launch the NUMBERING LIBRARY dialog window I do see a selection that shows "FP-". However, when I apply it, it does not work. In addition, it shows what I think are four letter spaces to the right of the hyphen which i do need. The military standard is:
FP-1
FP-2
FP-3
FP-4
FP-5 . . . and so on.

Moreover, can you advise me on how I could remove the code I incorrectly pasted. I have looked all over WORD to find a way I could delete this code and it's hiding in a place I can't find.

As for the correct way to paste this code below is my accounting of the pairs as I understand them:

#1. CNTRL+F9 then paste in between the braces: {PAGE}
#2. CNTRL+F9 then paste in between the braces: {=MOD({PAGE},2)}
#3. CNTRL+F9 then paste in between the braces: {PAGE}
#4. CNTRL+F9 then paste in between the braces: {IF{=MOD({PAGE},2)}= 1 "FP-{PAGE}"}

Not sure if the above is correct. I would appreciate it if you can let me know if I am understanding the pasting procedure correctly. Thanks again for the help. This operation you are helping me with is rather tricky.
