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

Fred,
This is how I see it, too. Have struggled with this for over a decade, since graphic design classes in college. Can't believe a word processing tool meant for publishing(?) in this day and age works this way. We need "page 0" on the left: a special, non-printing page.

5 years later... but as I haven't found a better solution here is my workaround:
- Zoom to fit two pages in Print Layout view
- insert page break right at the beginning of the document (i.e. create a blank first page). This will temporarily shift all the odd pages over to the right
- do all the editing you need to do then delete the page break.

Thanks, it solved MY problem (even I am not the OP).

Suzanne's answer totally worked for me. I did not realize that Mirrored Margins would define Page 1 on the right side. To test this out in Word365, I turned on Mirrored Margins in a 4 page Word document and then did a "Print to PDF". Then I opened the resulting file in Acrobat, where the printer dialogue allows me to select Booklet Printing. Sure enough, Page 1 was on the right side and Page 4 on the left!
