This isn't a Word-oriented question, per se, but I know there are tech
writers here and I'm striking out in my references and the web! What is a common protocol for printing duplexed docs that contain 11x17 figures? Should I have no page numbering for the figures and define their position in the doc as "following page X-X," where X-X is a standard, numbered 8.5x11 page? Should I put all figures together at the end of each chapter? Here's my situation: I've been asked to print a large report double-sided. The report contains many 11x17 fan-folded figures, which can only be printed single-sided, and each figure page currently counts as a page, i.e., has its own page number. What's happening with the double-sided printing is the odd pages no longer always begin on the right side. For example, if after 8.5x11 Page 2-2 I have an 11x17 Page 2-3, the following 8.5x11 Page 2-4€”an even page€”falls on the right side of the volume. I have always been told that, by convention, odd pages must lay on the right. Any references or suggestions appreciated. I need to be able to support my decision to change the numbering. Thank you, -Hans |

Given that you need section breaks to change the paper size, use an Odd Page
Break, and Word will insist on an odd page number. It will probably insert a blank (8.5 x 11) page, and I'm not sure how that will work out, but at least you should get the result you need. What you will *not* be able to do (as I'm sure you understand) is print page 2-4 on the back of page 2-3, since they're different sizes; so the only recourse is to bump 2-4 to 2-5 (a recto page). -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for the reply, Suzanne.
Unfortunately, the 11x17s are AutoCAD drawings -- they are not incorporated into the Word doc. I may just move all figures to the end of each chapter... -Hans "Suzanne S.

Since the figures are to be added manually, not included in the Word file, I
think either of your originally proposed solutions would be fine. Putting them at the ends of the chapters is probably the easiest, but there is also a convention to refer to "tipped-in plates" (color illustrations on glazed paper inserted between ordinary noncoated pages in books) as "facing page x" or "following page x." -- Suzanne S.
