To make your odd page section breaks work as expected together with
restarted page numbers, you must enable at least one of the following
options in the Page Setup dialog box (to display this dialog, choose
Page Setup on the File menu):

- "Mirror margins" on the Margin tab.

- "Different odd and even" on the Layout tab.

Thanks Suzanne, however I already tried printing it and it printed

An odd page break should be giving you a blank page, but you will

till you print. It doesn't show up even in Print Preview unless

you display
a two-page spread.

I'm updating a manual by creating sections and renumbering each

section to
start with page 1. For each new section I want a title page on

an odd
page
(without a page number,) then I want the content to start on the

next odd
page (page 1.) I originally had the page numbers 1 - 97 and odd

page
section
breaks to create the title page (heading 1) and then the start

of the
content
(Heading 2, 3, content) and it worked great. However when I

changed the
page
numbering to start over at 1 for each section, I lost some of

the odd page
section breaks. They were still there, but they weren't

printing. Most
of
the title pages started on an odd page but the content then

started on the
back of the title page. There was another section where the

opposite
happened, the title page printed on the back of the last page of

the
previous
section.

I've created a temporary fix by inserting a hard page break at

the end of
the previous section and after the title page but I've read

multiple times
to
never do this. Is there a better way to do this? I assume

there's a way
using styles but I haven't worked with them very much so I'm

unsure how to
start.

I'm using Word 2002.
