Default Continuous Section breaks, Next page section breaks, headers and f

I'm sorry my message is not specifically related to Chris's questions, but
I'm new to the forum and can't get the "new thread" button to give me a
window in which to compose my question. (If you can tell me why that's
happening, I'd like to know.)

I am using Word 2002 for XP and formatting a multi-section book. Although
all section breaks are set for "new page" (also designated for different odd
and even pages, different first page), if the "new page" happens to be an
even page, it will insert a blank page to force the first page of the new
section to an odd page. It is acting as if I had chosen "odd page" for my
section breaks.

I'm not seeing anyone else reporting this, so there must be something else I
have not chosen correctly to make this work right???

Thanks,
Lynne

I am making a family cookbook (up to 200 pages now) that has different next
page sections for different catagories and my thought was odd/even footers
to keep the pages on the outside. Worked great!!! Then in comes somone else
who changed my recipes to "columns" instead of tabbing here, there, moving
stuff around up and down like I did. It worked MUCH better and turned out
beautifully and now everything is down to the wire until I went to finish the
headers/footers. Now, they are mostly odd footer pages where a new
continious section break has been added on that page, Now there are new odd
page footers where "technically" they should be even pages and there are a
very few even pages here and there. Can anyone help? My intentions were
good, I just made a mess. Sorry. If you can figure this out, you are
wonderul.
