Displaying every page in Two-Page view
Coming into a new job, I've been handed an absolutely massive monitor which
allowing me to view and edit documents in the two-page side-by-side view. This is helpful in page prievew mode, because I am able to see the pages layed out as they would pring in back-to-back mode, odd pages displayed on the left, even on the right. However, when I'm viewing my documents in Print Layout View to add to and edit them, the pages are not laying out quite as neatly. Word is being "helpful" by hiding the blank pages caused by the "Section Break (Odd Page)", which is inserted after the end of every section. This means that I can occasionally have situations where page 11 is on the left, while page 13 is on the right, with page twelve being hidden away somewhere. Is there any way of convincing Word that it wants to be a little less helpful and display these blank pages for me - aside from manually adding additional page breaks? It would make formatting even vs odd pages correctly just that much easier. |

Displaying every page in Two-Page view
Hi Graham,
Congratulations on the giant monitor -- I wish I had such luck. :-) You can't get Word to show you the "hidden" blank pages because they don't exist until you send the document to the printer. They aren't just hidden, they're not there. You can force Word to make the pages without manual intervention, though.

Thanks Jay!
While this isn't the most elegant of solutions, I did manage to get this to work. I've assigned the field to autotext and macroed it into one of my toolbars. It still looks a might odd, however: With the template I'm working with, in Print Preview page one appears alone on the right, while two and three are on the next row of pages, and so on - whereas Print Layout has page one and two on the same row. Of course, that's still less confusing then having pages not appear on the screen... that's the main thing.

Erk... upon further review, this isn't actually a perfect solution.
By inserting a page break into the document, rather then a section break (Odd Page), the field creates a page that still contains the information in the headers/footers. This means that while the pages are correctly organized on the secreen, you'd have to go through and manually remove all instances of the field before printing the document.
