Assuming that you restarted your page numbering at the beginning of Chapter 9 and that you have five actual Word pages that are being treated as your ten folio pages:

So each sheet has a single footer stretching across the 17 inches.
You want the footer on the left (bound) part to have the odd page and on the fly-out to have the even page number..

Odd page part of footer:
FP: 9-{ = { PAGE } * 2 - 1 }



Even page part of footer:
FP: 9-{ = { PAGE } * 2 }

I've attached a document with those field codes. Note that as far as Word is concerned, in the Table of Contents and other reference pages these will be pages 1-5.

Charles,
Thank you for both of your posts. I looked over both of the links and no ideas came to my head by looking over the content. The Section field does not output the Chapter Number I need so I don't think I can use that field together with the { PAGE } field.


Thanks for your file. I have uploaded an Example file of my own to clarify what I am seeking to accomplish. Essentially, I need both ODD and EVEN numbering to display in the lower right hand corner of the ODD page. Additionally, the EVEN page on the backside needs to remain 100% blank. The plan is to add some large graphics on all ODD pages and leave the backside EVEN page as blank paper.

Your idea of adding a "9-" as text in front of the curly bracket is something I thought about myself however I got to thinking that most likely the TOC and cross references will display the tabloid pagination as "1" and not "9-1". I will have to test this out.

I pray that I am wrong, but I am starting to believe MicroSoft Word seems to be unable to support the Tabloid numbering scheme I need.

Any additional ideas will be greatly appreciated.
