Reply To: Help with page numbering please!

Oh, the stories I can tell!!!

I have been forced to add “This page intentionally left blank” to many publications. The worst ever was that I had to create a page with nothing but the number 14 in the page number position because “people might think that we forgot to print a page” and we can't have that.

Chicago Manual of Style actually has information on correctly numbering pages…I love that book. (I know, its a book, therefore I love it…but this one is always within arms reach of my work station).

Unfortunately, I sometimes lose the page number battle because of my location on the organizational food chain.

This was a great question. I wish that the correct answer(s) was/were taught as part of basic writing, language, and literature courses.
