Section Break Odd Page - Does not work
The only way that I can get a €śsection break-odd page€ť to work is if I set
the page setup headers option "different odd/even" = True. I have looked all over and can not find any documented connection between these two fields. I want my headers/footers to be the same on odd/even pages. Is there a way to have Section break-odd page work without turning on headers option "different odd/even"? |

Section Break Odd Page - Does not work
I have not seen this (but then I don't usually use Odd Page breaks in
documents that *don't* have different odd/even. But you can certainly put identical content in the odd and even header/footer. -- Suzanne S.

Section Break Odd Page - Does not work
Reading between the lines, you may be able to get what you want without
introducing different odd and even if you choose "mirror margins". I'm guessing the reason your "odd" page break isn't working is because you are restarting the page numbering (typically, at 1 after roman numbered prelims). If Word "thinks" you are on single-sided, it will always test odd and even against the page number. It will therefore count that page as odd (because 1 is an odd number), whether or not the page is "odd" counted from the beginning. Conversely, if you have mirror margins and/or different odd and even, Word paginates on the basis that you will be duplex printing, and that "odd" means recto, and "even" verso. You'll then get a blank backing page if necessary before a right-hand page (and you will find whatever starting number you set Word will make the actual page number odd). -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "Steve Bateman" Steve wrote in message ...
