    I am trying to use field codes to avoid having different odd/even page
    headers and footers.
    The fields I'm using are
    {IF {=MOD({PAGE} , 2 )} = 1 {PAGE}}, which gives the page number on an odd
    page and nothing on an even page
    and
    {IF {=MOD({PAGE} , 2 )} = 0 {PAGE}}, which gives the page number on an even
    page and nothing on an odd page
    Using Word 97 (English UK version) on computers running Windows NT with
    either English or French regional settings.
    On the French computers these fields give a syntax error as it seems to want
    a semicolon in place of the commas.
    Is there any way of writing a field that works on both sets of computer, or
    is there some other workaround?
