Word should simplify pagination for book authors

I am writing a Book with graphics on many of the pages. It is important for
me to know whether the page I'm working on will be a left or right-hand page.
I switch to "two pages" view from time to time to keep track of this. When
I printed the book everything was backwards. Today I clicked on "reading
layout" and found that the pages are the reverse of the "two-page" view.
This is very confusing.
You should make it easier for authors to do these things especially since
e-books online are becoming popular and many authors are having to do their
own book layouts.

Thank you!

If the page is odd, it will be a recto (right-hand) page, if even, verso
(left-hand). If you want to see it this way in Print Preview, enable mirror
margins or "Different odd and even" headers/footers.
