Note, however, that this is a very perverse and confusing thing to do.
Publishing convention is that odd pages are always verso (right-hand) pages
and vice versa. That's what readers expect, and you'll only confuse them if
you buck the convention.

There's no way I've ever seen to coerce Word into printing genuinely
even-numbered pages on the "front" side of duplexed sheets. That means you
can't use the "set section starting page" function for this. However, the
"page number" that prints on the paper doesn't have to be the real page
number. :-)
If you know that section 1 will end on an odd page and there will be a
blank
unnumbered page on the back of it, you can open the header/footer of
section
2 and replace the {Page} field with {= {Page} - 1}. The result of this
field
will be 1 less than the actual page number.
Don't try to set this up until the document has been completely edited and
formatted. Otherwise you'll get into a near-endless round of adjusting the
page numbers after every edit.

Hi
I have a document which needs to be printed double sided. New
sections should start on a new page, but on an odd page. However, I
want the page numbers to continue.
For example, I put an odd page break after page 9. If printed then
page 9 will print double sided with a blank page on the back (which
is correct). I then want to insert a new odd section, but I want the
page number to start at page 10....(and not 11).
Any ideas. Apologises if this has already been answered, but I have
spent an hour looking through all the messages.
