Default Odd-Section Break Before Style Heading

No, you cannot add section breaks as part of a style; they must be added
separately.

In theory, you could create an AutoText entry that inserts a heading and a
section break, but note that inserting such an AutoText section would change
the page layout of the document (because each section break stores the
formatting--page setup, columns, headers & footers--of the *preceding*
section). For more, see

I've created a long document by first typing out each Chapter and
sub-level
sections in a multi-level list that's linked to certain Style Headings.
I've
completed the majority of the document and now I want to have each
chapter,
and certain sub-sections, start on an odd page. I've fooled around with a
lot of settings but haven't been able to figure it out. I've modified the
Heading 1 style, which is the style I want on an odd page so that under
Paragraph Line and Page Breaks menu, the Page break before box is
checked.
Almost, but not exactly what I'm looking for. I've also tried including
an
odd-section break into the Heading 1 format manually by dragging the mouse
from the end-of-paragraph formatting character onto the next page where an
odd-section break exists. Didn't seem to work out the way I intended it.
Can anyone lend some advice? Thanks.
