Bev, you're on the edge of heresy here, step back!
Yeah, ya gotta start the chapter on the right in a print doc; if not,
it will start on an even-numbered page, which is going to make for a
weird TOC; e.g., chapter 3 begins on page 3-2?
(We are agreed, aren't we, that we don't actually SAY, "This page
intentionally left blank," right? Cuz that's only for financial
material.)

==============================
Does anyone still (or has anyone ever) use intentional blank
pages in a document? You know, the kind that say "This page
intentionally left blank." I know their purpose is to even up
the number of pages in a chapter so that the next chapter can
start on the right facing page. (As opposed to the left, but
let's not get into *that* again.)
We've been using them in our manuals, but I'm beginning to see
them as being very wasteful and unnecessary. So what if a
chapter starts on the left! The environmentalist in me has
already removed them from the next version of the manual, but I
was wondering what others are doing?
Any comments?
