WD95: Print: Odd Pages and Even Pages Have Opposite Effect

• Microsoft Word for Windows 95, versions 7.0, 7.0a

SYMPTOMS

When you select Odd Pages or Even Pages in the Print dialog box, you may get the opposite result when you print the document.

CAUSE

This opposite result will occur if the document begins with an even page number (such as 2, 4, or 6). This problem only occurs with documents starting with even page numbers; it does not occur if your document starts with an odd page number.

This behavior occurs because Word does not use the page number to determine odd or even pages. Instead, Word prints even or odd pages based on the physical order of the pages; this means the first page is odd, the second page is even, the third page is odd, the fourth page is even, and so forth.

WORKAROUND

Use one of the following methods when you print your document.

Method 1: Use the Other Option

Method 2: Insert a Page Break at the Beginning of the Document

1. On the Insert menu, click Break.



2. In the Break box, select Page Break, and click OK.
