The textbook (2-sided) has a very good and scientific page numbering. The odd pages 1, 3, 5 are numbered on the right margin, even pages 2, 4, 6 . are in the left margin, the number of symmetrical page numbers is very easy to see. In this article, you can help you number the page in Word in a symmetric parity style like a printed book.
Number the page for the odd page
Step 1: Open the text file of the page with the same number as the printed book -> on the Home tab -> click the arrow in Page Setup:
Step 2: The dialog box appears, click the Layout tab -> select the Differrent odd and even checkbox (select the layout on the odd and even pages) -> click OK:
Step 3: On the Insert -> Footer -> choose any title style to create footers:
Step 4: Enter the word Page to add a description for the page numbering:
Step 5: Go to the Insert tab -> Page Number -> Current Possition (number the page at the position where the cursor is located) -> select the location to number the page:

Step 6: Since page 1 is an odd page on the right margin, select the entire page number -> go to the Home tab to align the odd page for:
The result is correctly positioned for all the odd pages in the textbook.
Page numbers for even pages
Step 1: Similar to odd pages, after inserting the page numbers for the text, even pages are automatically inserted with the page numbers you add from the page into the page numbering description:
Step 2: Delete the number of pages that have been inserted in the even page by highlighting the page numbers and press the Delete key :
Step 3: Place the cursor right after the page -> on the Insert tab -> Page Number -> Current Possition -> select page numbering style:
The page number results for all even pages in the right margin position:
