Unwanted blank page before Odd Page section break when duplex prin
I have an instruction manual set up so each new chapter starts on the odd
(right) page using Odd Page section breaks. The problem is when I send the whole file or an individual chapter to the printer for duplex printing a blank page is inserted before the first page of the chapter causing the first page to be either on the even page or blank on the back depending on how you look at it. The following pages are then off by one as well with page 2 and page 3 on the same sheet of paper and so on. I am using Work 2003. I've looked at the article http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...nPgEndChap.htm. but it doesn't seem to really apply to my situation. I appreciate any help you can give. |

Unwanted blank page before Odd Page section break when duplex prin
I gave up using Odd and Even Page Breaks a long time ago as I found Word just
could not get it right (the logical way you think it should work, doesn't!) and Word also had issues with different types of printers. I know that is maybe not what you want to hear, but I just use the Next Page Page Breaks, etc and insert my own blank pages as required when doing the final pagination. I use an Autotext to do this very quickly. At least my final document is exactly as I want it and it prints perfectly everytime. If someone can explain how to get this feature to work propoerly, I will be interested.

Odd and even section breaks should work correctly, assuming that you enable
"Different odd and even" and/or "Mirror margins" in Page Setup. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "DeanH" wrote in message ...

Unwanted blank page before Odd Page section break when duplex
I use these obviously for duplexed jobs without any problems, it is just the
Odd/Even breaks that give me grief, especially with the printing aspect. Maybe it is just me :-( Thanks DeanH "Stefan Blom" wrote: Odd and even section breaks should work correctly, assuming that you enable "Different odd and even" and/or "Mirror margins" in Page Setup. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "DeanH" wrote in message ...

Unwanted blank page before Odd Page section break when duplex
I had "Different odd and even" already selected. I added "Mirror margins"
but that didn't help. Any other suggestions? This is really frustrating. "Stefan Blom" wrote: Odd and even section breaks should work correctly, assuming that you enable "Different odd and even" and/or "Mirror margins" in Page Setup. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP |

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? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Jenny B." wrote in message ... I had "Different odd and even" already selected.

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.

Note that if a page is numbered 1, Word will insist on its being an "odd"
page. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Jenny B." wrote in message ... Yes, I changed "Section start" to "Odd page" and tried again with no luck.
