Odd-Section Break Before Style Heading

[David]

I've created a long document by first typing out each Chapter and sub-level
sections in a multi-level list that's linked to certain Style Headings. I've
completed the majority of the document and now I want to have each chapter,
and certain sub-sections, start on an odd page. I've fooled around with a
lot of settings but haven't been able to figure it out. I've modified the
Heading 1 style, which is the style I want on an odd page so that under
Paragraph > Line and Page Breaks menu, the Page break before box is checked.
Almost, but not exactly what I'm looking for. I've also tried including an
odd-section break into the Heading 1 format manually by dragging the mouse
from the end-of-paragraph formatting character onto the next page where an
odd-section break exists. Didn't seem to work out the way I intended it.
Can anyone lend some advice? Thanks.

No, you cannot add section breaks as part of a style; they must be added
separately.

In theory, you could create an AutoText entry that inserts a heading and a
section break, but note that inserting such an AutoText section would change
the page layout of the document (because each section break stores the
formatting--page setup, columns, headers & footers--of the *preceding*
section). For more, see
