Hey Guys! Hope you are all doing well; in a bit of a pickle. I have a double-column word document (Each page has two columns). I have been able to assign each column its own page number using field codes. The first column is {={page}*2-1}, whilst the second column is {={page}*2}. The thing is, I want this to appear as roman numerals.
Previous attempts include me formatting the page numbers, which yields the error "Undefined bookmark I" and me doing the following {{={page}*2-1}\*roman}, which yields the error "!Unexpected End of Formula". Any help/suggestions would be very much appreciated

Is it possible to format your document as multiple pages per sheet, rather than columns? It might give you the easiest numbering.

I'm starting off guessing you might be using standard letter paper size, landscape orientation, with two columns per sheet as if a booklet? Though, I think you could adapt this to your paper size and orientation.

To do this, go to the Layout tab on the ribbon, and click on the little "more button" in the corner of the Page Setup button (Dialog Launcher) which will pop up the window. You can see how I did this example in the image.

I think from there that you will be able to design your page numbers as you would normally do if each column were a separate page, which now it is. I did a PDF export and they came out on the same sheet.

Hope this helps,

Ann

Try constructing your fields like this
{={={Page}*2-1} \* roman}
{={={Page}*2} \* roman}
