Start Section on Right-Hand Side of Book
I have a doc from 2003 that's 80 pages, many sections, mirror margins. The
header/footer is set for different for odd/even pages. I want the first page of each section to begin on the right-hand side of the book. My reference book says to set the section breaks at "Odd Page" , which is "useful when you want to make sure that each new chapter starts on the right side of a two-sided spread", which I've done. However, in viewing in print preview is doesn't do that. In some sections it inserts a blank page to allow the right-hand section start and in others it doesn't. Also, the header/footer changes and some breaks revert back to "Even Page" and my header/footer info changes. I've set the header/footer to "Not Same as Previous" and it keeps changing it back. I'm desperate ... thank you!!! -- Karen |

It will start the new chapter on the right hand page when you actually print
the document. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Thanks so much, Doug ... so am I understanding that what you see in Print
Preview is really not the way the doc prints? Also, do you know about the header/footer question? I can't figure out why when I change to not the same as previous it keeps putting it back on some of the sections? Then my thought was, can you really have section odd or even AND odd/even headers set on the same doc? Does one counter act the other?

Print Preview will not display the blank pages unless you have either
"Different odd and even" or "Mirror margins" enabled, and it appears that Karen has both enabled, so Print Preview should show facing pages correctly (Print Layout view does not). Also, to answer Karen's question elsewhere in the thread, "Different odd and even" is all or nothing; it can't be set section by section (as "Different first page" can). Moreover, each header is linked to (or unlinked from) the corresponding header in the previous section; so the Odd Page Header is linked to the Odd Page Header in the previous section, and the Even Page Headers are unrelated, as are both the footers. All of these can be linked or unlinked independently of each other (more at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm). -- Suzanne S.

Exactly, since Karen stated that she made use of both options, she should be seeing the filler pages/blank pages in Print Preview.

Does one counter act the other? Reaching deep, but this is quite a quandry for me!! -- Karen The section start setting is separate from header/footer types. Note that you can look in the Page Setup dialog box to verify that the correct type of section break is specified for a given section. Sometimes, Word changes the type (trying to adjust to the printer driver?). Usually, however, you can get around that by manually setting the type in Page Setup after you've inserted the section. For more on headers and footers, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Karen" wrote: I have a doc from 2003 that's 80 pages, many sections, mirror margins.
