how to insert a blank or empty page with or without numbering
To insert a blank page, you need to this:
\newpage
\thispagestyle{empty}
\mbox{}
\newpage
The idea is that there is something empty or invisible (mbox hack)
It is necessary to add in preamble the afterpage package and to define a macro for example \ myemptypage which will subtract one page to the counter:
\usepackage{afterpage}
\newcommand\myemptypage{
\null
\thispagestyle{empty}
\addtocounter{page}{-1}
\newpage
}
Then you must use this macro in your LateX document:
\myemptypage
this page will not be counted in your document.
