Cannot print double-sided without blank pages printing as well?
I am having trouble printing a MS Word document double-sided. Because I have
used Section Breaks throughout this document it wants to print a blank page after each section break. This only happens when I print double-sided, does not do this when printed single-sided. This has only started happening to me since I have been using the new MS Word 2003 Edition? |

Have you checked in View - Normal to make sure your section breaks aren't
all odd or even page section breaks or something?

Hi Andrea
Many thanks for your reply - unfortunately yes I have double checked my Section Breaks numerous times and this does not seem to make a difference, it still wants to print a blank page after each section?

If you are duplexing (or Word thinks you are because you're using mirror
margins or "Different odd and even" headers/footers) and restarting numbering in each section, Word will start each section on a recto (right-hand, odd) page even without an Odd Page break, because it knows that page 1 must be a recto page. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne,
The page numbering throughout my document is set to continuous and does not start a new number after each section break. Thanks! "Suzanne S.

In that case, are you trying to print portrait on the back of landscape or
vice versa? If so, Word will accommodate the printer by changing your Next Page break to Odd Page. You can usually reverse this by changing the section start type on the Layout type of Page Setup. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne, I already tried this, it doesn't seem to matter what type of
section break, whether it is an Odd Section Break or an Even Section Break, it still prints a blank page. I tested a blank document out this morning with only using Landscape pages and this printed back-to-back fine, but as soon as I changed every second page to Portrait this is where the problem starts, it then printed a blank page after each landscape page?

Have you tried changing the section breaks to "Next page"?

Hi Suzanne,
Yes these pages are 'True Blank Pages' - they do not show up in 'Print Preview' or on the screen. They only print out when I am selecting Duplex Printing - they DO NOT print out on Single-sided Print. Cheers Carlie "asha_basha" wrote: I am having trouble printing a MS Word document double-sided.
