How can I make print preview display odd pages on the right?

In previous version of word when viewing multiple pages in print preview the
pages would appear like a book with odd pages on the right hand side. Now
in Word 2003 it starts on the left. So you are unable to view what the
document woul look like if it were bound. Anyway to change this?

In all versions of Word, AFAIK, recto pages are displayed on the right only
if you have mirror margins or "Different odd and even" enabled.

I am working on a document with mirrored margins. In the print preview, the
odd (recto) pages are indeed displayed on the right.

However, while editing the document in the so called 'print layout' (view
menu), odd pages are displayed on the left. Is there a way to make editing
even more WYSIWYG, and display odd pages on the right in print layout as well?

Thank you,

I don't think there's any way to achieve this in Print Layout view, no.

Too bad. I hope this will one day be possible (as an option for the user, not
Word doing the thinking for you, as it sometimes tries).

For now, I will stick with the workaround of adding an empty, 1-page
section before the actual document.
