How to add a page numbering on a double-sided document, that should not include a new number on the back of the first page it should not be counted, instead starting number two on the third page?

You can do this with a calculated page number: { = ({ PAGE } + 1)/2 }. Put it in the Odd Page Header/Footer after enabling Different Odd and Even.

To create the field, press Ctrl+F9 (Fn+Ctrl+F9 on some computers) to insert the field, which will look like { } (braces with two spaces between). With the insertion point between the spaces, insert

= ( + 1)/2 to give { = ( +1)/2 }

Then before the plus sign, press Alt+Shift+P to insert the { PAGE } field. Press F9 to update. You'll get 1 on page 1, 2 on page 3, etc.

Please post a screen shot of your field construction (use Alt+F9 to display the field code).

I only get the following: !Syntax Error, TO

no page numbers?

Thanks!
