WD: Incorrect Pages Print with Odd/Even Print Order

ID: Q121935


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
  • Microsoft Word for Windows 95, versions 7.0, 7.0a
  • Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 6.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.1a
  • Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0


SYMPTOMS

When you choose to print even pages or odd pages, Word does not print the correct pages. This behavior occurs when you include page numbers that are numbered differently than the physical pages in the document (for example, when the first page of your document is defined as page 2, the second page is defined as page 3, and so forth). In addition, this behavior occurs whether or not you choose a Section Start equal to Odd or Even pages.


CAUSE

Word looks to the physical pages in your document to determine which pages are odd and even. Word does not reference any logical page numbering placed in your document.


RESOLUTION

To correctly print pages which have odd or even page numbers, you can add a blank page to the beginning of your section or document. When you do this, the physical page numbers and the logical page numbers are equivalent.
