Default Two-page view with odd-numbered pages on right

I need that view quite often too and I do what Jay recommended. But here's a
handy hint, if you like seeing a document with 2 pages or more in Print
Layout, but are sick of using the zoom box, copy the nifty Multiple Page
view button from the Print Preview tool bar onto your normal.dot toolbar.
Then you can see AND EDIT any number of pages viewed in Print View all the
time (with the odds on the right as expected). Hope this helps too.

I would like to view the document as it would appear if bound.


It's a bit of a hack, but...

Go to the beginning of the document and insert a page break
(Ctrl+Enter). Open the header. Click the Format Page Number button on
the Header/Footer toolbar, and set the page numbers to start at 0. The
blank page 0 will appear on the left of the first pair of pages, which
will correct the display of the rest of the pages. Before you print,
though, you'll have to remove page 0 and reset the numbering to start
at 1.
