Default How to display book pages as they appear in the book?

If you have selected either "Mirror margins" (Paper tab of Page Setup) or
"Different odd and even" (Layout tab), you will see facing pages.


Wish it was that easy.

I had "Book fold" selected in the Paper tab and "Different odd and even"
selected in the Layout tab and the behavior I described occurred.

I also have "Different first page" selected. Unselected it to no effect.

I just tried setting my page settings to "Mirror margins" and the display
changed to a single wide 11 x 8.5" page.

I then changed my page size to Custom, 5.5" wide by 8.5" high and set the
Paper tab to Mirror Margins. I now see the book the way I want, but only in
Print Preview. I'm looking for a way to show it with book pages
side-by-side in edit mode.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.
