Odd Page Section Breaks

[Marsh]

I have a relatively small document, 22 pages in total, including a Title Page
and a Table of Contents as the first two pages.
I have inserted an Odd Page Section Break after each of these. I am getting
a blank page printing after the title page, but the first page after the TOC
is printed on the back of the TOC. Not the result I was hoping for.
What can I do to trouble shoot the second Odd Page Break? I have deleted it
and reinserted it to no avail.

In the Page Setup dialog box, enable either the "Mirror margins" or the
"Different odd and even" option. You need one of these options to force
filler pages (unless numbering is restarted to 1 or another odd number in
one section, in which case Word always sees the first page of that section
as a right-hand page).

Hi Stefan,

I'm trying to build some different kind of word document, and don't
really understand why the section break - odd pages doesn't always
come an odd-numbered page.

Do you know if there is a full chart describing in which case the odd
page will come on next-odd page and in which case not?

Best Regards,
Thierry

It's not that difficult. The key is to enable at least one of "Different odd
and even" and "Mirror margins"; that ensures that odd-numbered pages are
always printed as right-hand pages, when duplexing.
