Using Office 2003 Pro SP2.

I have a two section document in which I have (repeatedly) set the second
section to start on an odd page. When it prints out, the second section
prints to the back side of the last physical page of the first section (which
is 5 pages in length). I've repeatdly performed an Insert | Break | Odd Page,
but all subsequent sections start on the reverse side of the physical page.
The page numbers for each section are correct (i.e., 1of 2, 2 of 2, etc.)

Any thoughts on what's wrong or how I can get around this without making the
first section an even number of pages?

Do you have either "Mirror margins" or "Different odd and even"
header/footer enabled? Both of those are clues to Word that you're
duplexing.

I only had "Normal" and "Different First Page" set.

So I tried each "Mirror margins" and "Different Odd and Even". This fixes
the original problem, but also results in the 2-page second section
generating "Page 1 of 3" (and 2 of 3) in the footer. The pagination is built
using field codes: Page {Pages} of {SectionPages} in each footer.

The funny thing is that this document has a companion document structured
the same, using the same template, yet the other document does not have the
original problem.

Another point of information: I've also encountered the "Page 1 of 1"
problem for multi-page documents described he
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/apperrors/PageXofY.htm

But I've got a work-around for that issue.

Thank you for your help; I'll do a search for the secondary problem.

This issue has been reported before. It appears that Word counts the blank
page it inserts as part of the following section (yes, this is a bug). Your
only recourse may be to use Page { Page } of { = { SectionPages } - 1 }.

Thank you. I'll try that...
