Thanks, Suzanne, I solved the page centering problem okay, it was simply my
stupid error of not entering the correct page size.

Now, although all through these months of work I have always been able to
show the first page of the book in Print Preview all by itself in a single
panel (even under the show-two-pages option) as a right-hand page, which it
is & must be, WORD is now suddenly showing it as a left-hand page, followed
by another panel containing a left-hand page turned into a right-hand page.
This is the first page you see when you open a paperback & see the Blurb
page in front of you. And not only this page, but many of my chapter-opening
pages now show up as left-hand pages as well, which they absolutely must NOT
be, all chapter-opening pages must be right-hand pages.

How do I turn my very first page of the book back into a right-hand page
without inserting another page in front of it (in which case it would no
longer be the first page of the book)???

If I get that one right, presumably all the other chapter-opening pages will
fall back into order as right-hand pages...

Any thoughts...???

all the best!
