If I create a three-page document with a large number on each page (1, 2,
3), here's what happens (Word 2003):
1. Go to Print Preview and see a single page.
2. Change the view to 1x2 pages and see 1&2 or 3.
3. Go to Page Setup and choose "Different odd and even."
4. Go back to Print Preview, which is now showing all 3 pages (to the right,
with room for another page on the left). If I click on the Multiple Pages
button, the palette that previously had 1x1 as the first button and 1x2 as
the second now has 1x2 as the first and 1x4 as the second. 1x4 is obviously
what is being displayed.
5. Change that setting to 1x2 and see 1 or 2&3.
6. Go Page Setup. Clear "Different odd and even" and select "Mirror
margins."
7. Go to Print Preview and see 1 or 2&3.
The same sequence also happens in reverse, if I set 1x2 and then change to
"Mirror margins." Apparently Word has an entirely different "Multiple Pages"
set up for duplex documents.

Puzzled on this as my document aready has 'Different odd and even', (I
assume
you are talking about 'Layout' - 'Headers & Footers' here), and has
'Mirror
Margins' set.
Still, in two page preview, previews page 1,3,5, etc. on the left and
2,4,6
etc. on the right. My document is 322 pages and viewing like a book was
helpful as certain pages needed to be left and right to ensure
continuation
of content.
Inserting a tempory page break at the start of the document just dropped
in
a blank first page and hence moved page 1 across. It didn't change the
page
numbering - it might do if I update TOC or Index, but haven't done that so
still maintained original numbering.

Inserting a temporary page break is cheating and will throw your
numbering
off. Much better to enable "Different odd and even" or "Mirror margins."

Found an answer in the search forum that I didn't see before. Seems to
work.
Haven't tried Suzanne's solution.
Cheers

Insert a temporary page break before page 1

I have a Word document which I intend to print double sided and bind
into a 'book'. How can I persuade Print Preview showing Multiple
Pages
(1x2) to show my document page layout as it will appear in my book,
ie
page 2 on the left & page 3 on the right etc rather than the default
of
page 1 on the left & page 2 on the right etc.

Word will do this if you enable "Mirror margins" (Margins tab) and/or
"Different odd and even" (Layout tab) in Page Setup.

In View 'Print Layout' - Zoom 'Two Pages' - how do I select the view
so
that
the odd numbered pages are on the right and the even numbered pages
are
on
the left and not the other way round. i.e. view just like a book.
