Subject:MS Word: force blank pages between sections From:John Cornellier <cornellier1 -at- stavanger -dot- oilfield -dot- slb -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com Date:Wed, 21 Jan 2004 17:47:52 +0100
Greetings, Word Mavens:
Scenario: TofC starts on an odd page. Because of pg numbering, I put a section break at the end of the ToC. I want Chapter 1 to begin on an odd page.
So I make the section break and "odd page" one. Sure enough, Chapter 1 start on an odd page, but the TofC is only one page long and Word does not insert a blank page on its back.
What do I do to get Word to dynamically create an even (blank, with headers and footers) page between two sections when the first one ends on an odd page?
An obvious solution is to create the extra page by hand (ie with a page break), but then what if the doc grows & the TofC becomes two pages ... ? Then I'll have to go back and dekludge.
Thanks in advance
John Cornellier
