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.

Thanks anyway
Knut

Are the problems you are having to do with mismatching even/odd page
numbering to left/right hand pages?

If you have different odd and even or mirror margins, Word will not allow
your second page to start at 1, because that would put odd numbers on
"verso" (left hand) pages - that breaks with book publishing conventions.

If you are not (eventually) printing duplex, use the same page layout for
odd and even. If you are printing duplex, then put a blank backing page
after your first (title?) page.

I would like to have my first page without page number, then the table of
contents numbered i, ii, iii..., and finally start from 1 at the first page
of content. But it seems impossible to avoid that the page numbers for the
table of content starts at ii instead of i. Behind the table of content, I
get ordinary numbers to start with 1 by telling Word that they should start
with 0. Can anyone help?
