Thank you. I'm glad to see evidence that our NNTP posts are finally making
it to the Web interface; as you may have noticed, our replies were actually
posted a couple of days ago.

Thank you for replying Suzanne, I really appreciate it.

Apologies for sounding confused over what the words "odd" and "even" mean.
Just missing that one simple fact that the different odd/even
header/footer
is a global setting, had me babbling and tearing my hair out!!

While I'm here.. in my previous searches for info i have read a number of
your replies to other posts. I always find them very informative and easy
to
understand. Many thanks!

Unlike "Different first page," which can be enabled for specific
sections,
"Different odd and even" is a document-level choice. As Graham mentions,
you
can duplicate the Odd/Even Page Header/Footer in given sections as
required,
but you must have both.

Moreover, Word will not allow you to assign an even number to an "odd
page."
Once you have, in effect, told Word you plan to duplex the document, Word
will hold you to it. If you insert an Odd Page section break, and the
previous section ends on an odd page, Word will insert a blank even page
to
make up the difference.

Hi, I have a document with 3 sections at the moment. The first section
just
contains the title page, the last section just contains the last page.
The
body of the document is contained in section 2. The setting for "Same
as
previous" has been turned off in all the headers and footers.

I need to introduce odd and even pages in the body of the document,
specifically at page 6, so i can have different headers and footers in
that
part of the document. I need page 6 to be an odd page.

I've tried a number of ways and none of them have worked.

I've tried clicking in the first line of text on page 6 (which
incidentally
has a style applied which inserts a page break before), then Insert,
Break,
Odd page. Turned off "same as previous" in the header/footer. Then I
clicked
in that new section, went into the File, PageSetup, Layout and selected
Different odd and even headers, For this Section.

That resulted in me getting odd and even page headers and footers
throughout
the whole document.

I tried going into the file, pagesetup dialog in the other sections and
turning off the Different odd/even headers, For this Section. That
removed
the odd/even headers from the entire document, including the section
where
i
first turned them on.

In fact, i seem to get that result regardless of what i try?? ie. turn
the
different odd/even header footer on in one section and it applies to
whole
document, turn them off in one section, and they get turned off in the
whole
document.

I tried going into page 5 and just inserting a Next page section break.
Then
selected different header/footer, for this section, in the pagesetup.
Same
result.

If anyone can point me in the right direction i would be extremely
grateful.
I have read the MVPs site pages on section breaks, plus many of the
linked
sites, plus many posts here...nothing seems to be quite the issue i've
got.

Thanks in advance,
Helen
