odd page section breaks
I've got a problem trying to get my odd page section breaks to fall into
line. When I insert the break after the last line of a section Word shows the first line of the next section as being on an odd page, but when I print a section I get a blank unnumbered page as page 1 and the text with an odd page number starts on the second page. i.e. Sec 28 with odd page section ends on page 237 Sec 29 starts on page 239, when I print Sec 29 the first page out is blank & the second is page 239. The problem doesn't seem to occur in the areas where the odd page section break has been inserted into an even numbered page. -- Bill Mitchell |

odd page section breaks
Make sure you don't have a page break in addition to the section break (even
in the form of a paragraph formatted "Page break before"). -- Suzanne S.

odd page section breaks
Hi Suzanne,
I just checked that. All of the sections begin with a certain style and they each end with a certain style. I checked both and cleared out everything having to do with pages, but I still have the same problem. The only thing I didn't mention is that I have a TC filed inserted at the very beginning of each section. It looks like Word is making the hidden "even" page the first page of the new section rather than the last page of the old section. Bill "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

odd page section breaks
I have seen this phenomenon before, in a case where a user was trying to
restart numbering in a section and the first page kept being page 2 because Word was counting the blank even page as the first page of the section. I suspect this may be a known bug, but I don't find anything about it in the KB (there are articles about improper duplexing when the actual page numbering doesn't agree with the assigned numbers (that is, if you've started with page 2, but Word knows the first page is 1 and therefore considers it an odd page). What may help, if you haven't already done it, is to enable both "Mirror margins" and "Different odd and even" headers and footers. This will confirm to Word that you are duplexing and may alleviate the situation, though I don't guarantee anything. -- Suzanne S.

odd page section breaks
Apparently, if you don't specify "Mirror margins" or "Different odd
and even" (or both) Word uses the *page number* to determine whether it needs to insert a filler page or not. -- Stefan Blom "Suzanne S. Barnhill" skrev i meddelandet ...

odd page section breaks
Thanks Suzanne,
I've already done all of that. I suppose I'll just have to insert a page break when the section ends on an odd page and make sure my sections end on an even page Bill "Suzanne S.

odd page section breaks
Hi Stefan,
I've had mirror & different checked off since I began the manual. I've reset the mirror margins, but I don't want to reset the odd & even unless I absolutely have to.
