Default Unwanted blank page before Odd Page section break when duplex

Note that if a page is numbered 1, Word will insist on its being an "odd"
page.

Yes, I changed "Section start" to "Odd page" and tried again with no luck.

The page numbering starts over with each chapter.

I also looked through the Properties of the printer in Control Panel and
didn't see any settings that would insert a new page.

I have figured out a "fix" - I send the document to the pdf "printer" and
then print from the pdf document. It galls me to use such a backwards way
to
make it work. I'd still like to figure out what's going on especially
since
it used to work correctly.

Thanks for the suggestions so far, I appreciate the help.

Have you verified that the "Section start" in File | Page Setup, Layout
tab,
is really "Odd page" for each section?

Is page numbering continuous throughout the document, or is it restarting
somewhere?

Also, have you looked at the printer settings in Control Panel?

I had "Different odd and even" already selected. I added "Mirror
margins"
but that didn't help. Any other suggestions? This is really
frustrating.

Odd and even section breaks should work correctly, assuming that you
enable
"Different odd and even" and/or "Mirror margins" in Page Setup.
