odd section break causes blank page
I have a document that is divided into several pieces "front matter" and a
main document with several chapters. I'm betting that each of these will be a section by the time that I'm done, so I'll speak in those terms. The first section is the title page. (1 page) The second section is a introductory letter/abstract. (1-3 pages) Next comes various tables (contents, figures, etc.) (2+ pages) Next comes the first section of the main document (everything else) The title and abstract sections (Document sections 1 and 2) should always print single-sided. The rest of the doc may be printed duplexed (double-sided). So, I think, "no problem. I'll just make lots of sections and have each one be an odd page section break." This works fine when I print the document in duplex mode. But, sometimes, I need to print the whole doc single-sided. When I do this, I get blank pages at the end of those sections missing a final even page. Now, I realize that this is happening because of the odd section break I specified. The trouble is that the behavior is correct for duplex printing; I want that blank page so the next section starts on an odd page--that's what the odd break is for. Is there a way to have my cake and eat it too? How can I get a document that prints correctly on both single-sided and duplex output? Thanks for the help? |
