Default Two Page (side by side) preview with odd pages on right

It *does* work, at least in Word 2003 (and every previous version AFAR). I
have a four-page test document. If I select "Mirror margins" then switch to
Print Preview and choose 1x2 pages, I get page 1 on the right. Paging down,
I get pages 2 and 3, then 4. Same if I check "Different odd and even."
Either of those settings has the desired result.

Yes, and that does not work. Don't really need the attitude, I'll just

export
to Adobe, thank you.

I wasn't telling you how to get a "2-up preview." I was telling you how

to
get facing pages, which is what you asked. By "facing" pages, I mean

recto
on the right and verso on the left, as in a book. Did you try what I
suggested?

Thanks, Suzanne, but that wasn't my question. Getting a 2-up preview

is
easy.
Making Word display odd numbered pages on the right side is the

question.
The
first row in 2-up should show only a page on the right side, which

should
be
an odd page.

Is there a way to do that?

If you have selected either "Different odd and even" (Layout tab of

Page
Setup) or "Mirror margins" (Margins tab of Page Setup), you'll see

facing
pages.

In its 2-up preview mode, Word defaults to showing page 1 and

subsequent
odd
pages on the left side rather than the right side. Is there a way

to
force
word to show odd pages on the right when previewing. Odd pages are

right
pages.
