Duplex printing different sections or chapters together

S

Samuel Marshall

I'm printing a document, using the duplex printing feature, containing
several sections (chapters) all numbered separately. I want the beginning of
each section to fall on the top of a page leaf when I'm finished printing so
they can be individually separated, if required. Anyway that I can achieve
this without too much grief?

Set each section to start on a "New page" (in File | Page Setup,
Layout tab) as opposed to "Continuous"?

Start each chapter with an Odd Page Section Break, which will prevent
the first page of Chapter 2 beginning on the last backside of chapter 1.

Good idea, but unfortunately because each section is numbered differently and
starts at a number 1 then it doesn't effectively separate Chapter 2 from
Chapter 1. Thanks though...

I'm afraid I don't understand. You start each chapter with an Odd Page
section break and restart numbering in each chapter and this doesn't meet
your needs?

I'm trying to prevent the first page of Chapter 2 falling on the backside of
the last page of Chapter 1 if that page is an odd numbered page. If you
restart numbering with each Chapter and start with an Odd Page section break
then this still doesn't help because even if you end a Chapter with an odd
number, the following page will still be an odd number...that is, number 1.
Try it you'll see...

But you will get a totally blank even page inserted between the last odd
page and the new page 1. You will not see this page in any view except Print
Preview (and then only if you have enabled "Mirror margins" or "Different
odd and even" headers and footers), but it will be "printed" when you print
the entire document.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I'm not getting that result. I'm not
seeing this blank page in Print Preview and Chapter 2 is still being printed

Oh I see! I'm getting it now, its working perfectly. You really are an MVP.
Thanks for your persistence and patience.
