MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / August 2007Section Break Problem
I'm working with a large document with each chapter starting after an odd- page section break (to display page numbers with chapter numbers in the footers.) Suddenly some chapter first pages display as even pages and some odd page breaks change to continuous section breaks. Everything was fine in earlier versions, but now, when I change one continuous section break to an odd page break, the odd page break for the chapter before it changes into a continuous section break. Needless to say this is driving me crazy. Can anyone help? Thanks, - charles thiesen I should mention that I tried saving as a web page to remove any corrupt code, but that didn't work. > I'm working with a large document with each chapter starting after an > odd- page section break (to display page numbers with chapter numbers [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Thanks, > - charles thiesen How are you changing the type of section break? Note that you should be using the Page Setup dialog box. In particular, copying and pasting section breaks can really complicate matters (see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/WorkWithSections.htm). Also note that if you are restarting the page numbering on some sections, you will have to enable either "Different odd and even" or "Mirror margins" to have odd page sections behave as such.

I delete the existing break and insert a new one from Insert > Breaks selecting next page odd page. I never copy them. I've been using different odd and even all along and different first page for each new chapter/section. Does this suggest anything? Thanks for the quick reply. - charles =?Utf-8?B?U3RlZmFuIEJsb20=?= <no.spam@please.xyz> wrote in news:FDE34F00-65D5-414C-AB67-276F37FE0122@microsoft.com: Your suggestion of changing section types in the page layout dialog box seems to have done the trick.
