Page 1 Text Continuous Section Break Page break Footer: Odd page Footer - Section 1 Page number: 1 Page 2 Text Continuous Section Break Page break Footer: Even page Footer - Section 2 Page number: 2 (First problem: Cannot make it start as "1") Page 3 Text Continuous Section Break Page break Footer: Even page Footer - Section 3 (Second problem: It should be "Odd") Page number: 2 (Third problem: Cannot make it start as "1" either) Can anyone solve this riddle? Thanks! |

Page numbering
When using mirrored pages, inserting a Next Page section break takes the text
to the new paper sheet, leaving a completerly blank page on the second page of the first sheet. This not only wastes paper, but it also looks weird.

Page numbering
A Next Page section break does *not* insert a blank sheet unless it is
accompanied by a page break. An Odd Page break will insert a blank even page if the previous section ends on an odd page. But, as pointed out in answer to another of your questions, you are inserting section breaks unnecessarily because using "Different odd and even" would accomplish what you want. -- Suzanne S.

Page numbering
Suzanne,
Sadly, a Next Page section break *does* insert a blank sheet when using mirrored margins IF the page numbering style is changed or IF the page numbering sequence is restarted. I tried this with MS Word 2007 and 2003 and it does it in both cases. In my case, the documents have a front cover and a back cover section (no numbering). It also has an Edition Notes section (one page, numbering starting at "I") and a Table of Contents section (one or two pages, numbering starting at "a"). Finally, the six body sections (multiple pages each, numbering starting at "1" on the first section and continuing onto the subsequent sections). Although I tried to avoid this problem by using €śContinuous€ť section breaks followed by the corresponding Page breaks, as soon as I changed the page numbering style and sequence for the first two sections, the problem resurfaced, as you saw in my posting. So far, my workaround for years has been to break up the document into several sub-documents, each with its own page-numbering scheme. To publish the complete document, I convert each sub-document to PDF and combine all the PDF files into a single PDF document, which is what we end up publishing. I would really like to know whether Word has a more elegant and efficient solution to work with different page numbering styles and sequences when using mirrored margins than breaking up the document. Thank you for your response, BTW. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: A Next Page section break does *not* insert a blank sheet unless it is accompanied by a page break.

Page numbering
If you restart at an odd number, then, yes, Word will force an Odd Page
break. By using mirror margins or "Different odd and even" you have told Word you intend to duplex, and Word will not put an odd page on the verso. As long as you're numbering and paginating your document in the conventional way, then you should be using Odd Page breaks already when you intend to restart numbering at 1. -- Suzanne S.
