Using odd page bread to start a new chapter on an odd page
Hi. Okay. I have been battling agains Word 2003 for some time now
with this formatting thing. I have read a lot of newsgroup posts here that all leade to this page (http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...nPgEndChap.htm) on how to do an odd page break and be able to put header and footer information on that even, blank page that gets inserted. I have used the code from that page (http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...nPgEndChap.htm) and it worked in the beginning of my document when I went from the table of contents to chapter 1. But as soon as I got done with chapter 1 and inserted another one of these special codes for the start of chapter 2, the first one (after the table of contents) wasn't working anymore. What I mean by that is the TOC ended on page 6, but the the code went ahead and inserted a blank page (page 7) with my header and footer on it, and then one of those MS Word, autogenerated blank pages got inserted for page 8, and then my chapter 1 started on page 9. I don't know why after entering this suggested code a second time in the document caused the first one to start behaving incorrectly. Any ideas? I'd appreciate any help because this is driving me absolutely nuts! Thanks! Ryan Cabanas |

Using odd page bread to start a new chapter on an odd page
When you use this field, make sure that your section breaks are Next Page,
not Odd Page. -- Suzanne S.

Using odd page bread to start a new chapter on an odd page
Hi Suzanne,
I did what you said, but the field is still throwing an extra page, even though the field is landing on an even page number. So since it's an even page, it shouldn't be throwing a blank page, right? Could the problem be with the fact that I'm using this field right after a TOC and because when looking at the document using field codes view the field lands on an odd page, but in the normal view, when the TOC is populated, it lands on an even page? You know what I mean? Could that be it? Thanks. Ryan Cabanas Suzanne S. Barnhill wrote: When you use this field, make sure that your section breaks are Next Page, not Odd Page. -- Suzanne S.

Using odd page bread to start a new chapter on an odd page
Working around a TOC is always touchy. It is very easy to get page breaks,
paragraph breaks, and pretty much anything else inside the TOC field code (where it is deleted the next time you update the TOC). Make very sure that you're in a separate paragraph from the TOC (with an empty paragraph in between for good measure) when you insert the field, be sure to update fields when printing, don't print with field codes displayed, etc. -- Suzanne S.

Using odd page bread to start a new chapter on an odd page
Hi Suzanne,
Yes. I made sure that my field was outside the TOC field brackets. I have it butted right up against the end bracket of the TOC field just to make sure that it was registering the proper page when deciding to add a blank page, or not, but it is definitely outside of the TOC's end bracket, but I still have this problem. Any other suggestions? I also noticed that the example code on the web page was a little different from the actual field code in the example word file that you could download. The downloadable Word file had more spaces in places, so I added those to my own field code for this, but unfortunately it did not help. Ryan Cabanas Suzanne S.
