I have a similar difficulty, but with a slight twist. When I manually insert
an Odd Section Break (InsertBreakOdd Section Break), the sections are
formatted and printed correctly, with a blank page inserted after sections
ending on odd pages so new sections always start on the right side.
However, when I use a macro to add an Odd Section Break, the section break
looks ok in the doc itself (ie it shows "Odd Section Break" coding, and the
Task Pane also shows that it's an Odd Page break); however, it acts more like
a "Next Page Break". Blank pages are not inserted after odd pages when
printed, and pagination continues (ie 1,2 instead of 1,3).
I've tried different variations of macros -- from recording the actual
keystrokes (InsertBreakOdd Section Break), to keying the macro code itself
(Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdSectionBreakOddPage).
I don't understand why the odd section break works properly when it is
inserted manually but not when it's in a macro -- especially when the
keystrokes from the one that works are recorded to make the macro!
Can you provide any insight?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Suzanne,
Sheesh, you gotta be kidding me. OK, I can see the page if I do Print
Preview, but not in Print Layout.
However, the inserted page does not display the proper headers/footers for
an even page, it's completely blank. Anyway to force the non-viewable
intervening page to take on the default characteristics of an even page? This
is for a printed manual, and blank pages are a no-no.

Page 10 *is* inserted, but you won't see it except in Print Preview if you
have two pages displayed. The blank page will print, however.

I'm creating a document that contains several sections, one for each
chapter.
Each chapter should start on an odd page (right page).
The Section Odd Page forces the next section to start on an odd page,
which is correct, but does not insert the (expected) intervening even
page.
So if I have Chap 1 and it goes from pages 1-9, the first page does start
at
page 11, but no page 10 is inserted. Right now, I have to go through the
whole doc and insert page breaks manually...or remove them if the page
count
has changed and ended up even (but forced to odd with the page break).
Basically, I want to know if there's anything that automatically forces a
section to have an even number of pages.
