Hi

 

I am wondering if anyone can help me with the following. I have a 2 page spread document and I need to number is so that the Recto page is 1 and then the verso of that page is also 1. Then R2, V2, R3 V3 etc.

Tried all kinds of things on the masters but no joy.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you 🙂
