Startging Chapters on ODD pages

P

Pierre

I would like to validate whether my approach is correct. I am preparing a
Word 2000 document template. It will be printed double-sided. There is a
front matter section and multiple chapters.

Throughout the document, I have running headers and footers. The front
matter has roman numberal page numbers and Diferent First Page turned on for
the Front Matter section.

I need my chapters to begin on odd pages. The only way I have been able to
ensure my chapters start of odd pages is by inserting a Section Break of type
ODD in front of each section. Is that the correct way to do it?

I tried to use File > Page Setup > Layout > Section Start ODD but it didn't
do anything.

I read the following articles.

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/WorkWithSections.htm

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NumberingFrontMatter.htm

The second one gave me the impression that I did things correctly. but it
doesn't seem right to me. I don't think the users of the template should have
to know that they have to enter manual section breaks.

Hope you can help me.

Thank you.

Pierre

Yes, I'm afraid the only way to get this to work is to begin each chapter
with an Odd Page break.
