Page Numbering for Figures in double-sided docs
This isn't a Word-oriented question, per se, but I know there are tech
writers here and I'm striking out in my references and the web! What is a common protocol for printing duplexed docs that contain 11x17 figures? Should I have no page numbering for the figures and define their position in the doc as "following page X-X," where X-X is a standard, numbered 8.5x11 page? Should I put all figures together at the end of each chapter? Here's my situation: I've been asked to print a large report double-sided. The report contains many 11x17 fan-folded figures, which can only be printed single-sided, and each figure page currently counts as a page, i.e., has its own page number. What's happening with the double-sided printing is the odd pages no longer always begin on the right side. For example, if after 8.5x11 Page 2-2 I have an 11x17 Page 2-3, the following 8.5x11 Page 2-4€”an even page€”falls on the right side of the volume. I have always been told that, by convention, odd pages must lay on the right. Any references or suggestions appreciated. I need to be able to support my decision to change the numbering. Thank you, -Hans |

Page Numbering for Figures in double-sided docs
Given that you need section breaks to change the paper size, use an Odd Page
Break, and Word will insist on an odd page number. It will probably insert a blank (8.5 x 11) page, and I'm not sure how that will work out, but at least you should get the result you need. What you will *not* be able to do (as I'm sure you understand) is print page 2-4 on the back of page 2-3, since they're different sizes; so the only recourse is to bump 2-4 to 2-5 (a recto page). -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for the reply, Suzanne.
Unfortunately, the 11x17s are AutoCAD drawings -- they are not incorporated into the Word doc. I may just move all figures to the end of each chapter... -Hans "Suzanne S.

Page Numbering for Figures in double-sided docs
Since the figures are to be added manually, not included in the Word file, I
think either of your originally proposed solutions would be fine. Putting them at the ends of the chapters is probably the easiest, but there is also a convention to refer to "tipped-in plates" (color illustrations on glazed paper inserted between ordinary noncoated pages in books) as "facing page x" or "following page x." -- Suzanne S.
