Default inserting a page break after each 9th page? or skip print on the 10th page ?

Hi,

I received a document made with mail merge , that has some contracts that end up on 9 pages each and i need to print them on both sides, so if i do that the the 5th page on the back gets the first page of the second contract. The document has 1.800 some pages, so doing a page break manually every 10th page will take to much time

So basically i want to find a way to print the entire document but to have the 5th page of the back side blank and the 10th page to start to print on a new page and page 11 on the back ..and so on...

This document likely has an ordinary "next-page" section break at the end of the merge. Are there any section breaks in the document other than the one between merge records?

If this is the only instance of section breaks, here is a macro that changes all next-page section breaks to odd-page section breaks.

Code:
Sub ChangeSectionNextPageToOddPage()

    Dim s As Section
    '
    For Each s In ActiveDocument.Sections
    If s.PageSetup.SectionStart = wdSectionNewPage Then
        s.PageSetup.Setup.SectionStart = wdSectionOddPage
    End If
    Next s
    Set s = Nothing
  End Sub

The simplest solution would be to insert the following field code into the mailmerge main document before the merge is executed:
{=MOD({PAGE},2) \# "'{QUOTE 12}';;"}

Note: The field brace pairs (i.e. '{ }') for the above example are all created in the document itself, via Ctrl-F9 (Cmd-F9 on a Mac or, if you’re using a laptop, you might need to use Ctrl-Fn-F9); you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message. Nor is it practical to add them via any of the standard Word dialogues. The spaces represented in the field constructions are all required.
