You are touching the kernel of the problem. Word is behaving strange
when I switch between even and odd page numbering. Hard page brakes and
division shifts (I don't know what these are called i English) are put
in without any warning. And I am having a hard battle to get things
right. I hav finally made it, but I am very anxious to proceed with this
document. I fear it will be messed up again as soon as I make some
larger changes in the document, making it urgent to always check the
page numbers before any printing of pages/chapters.

Hard page breaks are usually not a good idea to use in the first place
(too often you end up with the formatting of the following paragraph at
the end of the page containing the page break).

Your "division shifts" are probably section breaks in Word lingua. You
might want to take a look into the following article:
