Force chapter to start at odd-number page
I am writing my PhD thesis in Word 2007. I insert an page break at the end of
each chapter so that the next chapter start at the next page. But I don't know how to set each chapter to start at odd-number page as required by my institute. For example, if chapter 1 ends at page 20, it's OK now because chapter 2 will start at page 21. However if chapter 1 ends at page 19, chapter 2 now will start at page 20. I want it to start at page 21 and a blank page is inserted after the end of chapter 1, i.e. page 19. Any suggestions, thanks. |

Force chapter to start at odd-number page
Why not add a page with just the page number? Use a manual page break.

Force chapter to start at odd-number page
Thanks, JoAnn,
Your suggestion certainly works but it's tedious. If I revise the paper so that chapter 1 ends at a different page, then all subsequent manually inserted page breaks will be useless.

That's what Odd Page section breaks are for.

Force chapter to start at odd-number page
Instead of using a page break, use an Odd Page section break. Having each
chapter in a separate section can provide other advantages as well (such as the ability to use "Different first page" for the headers and footers). The trick is figuring out how to insert a section break in Word 2007. The Insert tab (where you might expect to find the command) has only the page break. Look for section breaks in the Page Setup section of the Page Layout tab. Under Section Breaks, choose Odd Page. When you use an Odd Page section break, Word will insert a completely blank even page if the previous section (chapter) ends on an odd page. You will not see this page even in Print Preview unless you are displaying two pages, but when you print, Word will "print" the blank page. -- Suzanne S.

Force chapter to start at odd-number page
Thanks Suzanne, that fixs my problem.
I first remove the page break and then insert an odd page section break. But word restart the page number from 1 for the new section. I change the page number format so that it continues from the previous section. But the first page of the new section is a blank page! I have to manually remove this bland page and now everything is OK. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Instead of using a page break, use an Odd Page section break.

I'm not sure why you got a blank first page if you removed the page break
before inserting the section break (unless you had followed someone else's advice to insert two page breaks), but I'm glad you got it figured out. -- Suzanne S.

Could you please take a look at another problem I've justed posted? The
subject is "Multilevel List does not apply to all the document"? Thanks. "Suzanne S.
