Extra blank pages printing at beginning of doc

[Winnie]

Word 2000

I have section breaks(next page) at the bottom of the
following beginning pages in a doc that is set up for odd
and even pages:
Cover page, Copyright page, TOC (runs on to two pages and
numbers start here (iii and iv))

The pages that follow start at page 1 with a graphic in
the footer.

The problem is when I print I get a blank page after the
Cover page and after the Copyright page - then it prints
correctly.

A suggestion was made to change the first 2 section breaks
to page breaks but then I lose the numbers in the TOC
pages - and the graphic and number in the even page footer
of the last section.

Any suggestions?

Hi Margaret

What is a 'recto" by the way and how do I fix the number
problem. Also I do not have different page sizes.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Winnie

Sorry for the publishing-speak - recto is the right hand page of a two-page
spread, which is always an odd page number. The back of the page is the
'verso' and has an even number. When you choose 'different odd and even' or
'mirror margins', Word assumes your document will eventually be printed on
two sides of a page, and adjusts blank pages/page numbering accordingly.

The 'start at' page number is set in the page number format dialog. You can
access this most easily from the header and footer view toolbar. Make sure
you are in the header or footer for the second (copyright) section.

Alternatively, you could simply replace the section break between the cover
and copyright pages with a page break, assuming margins and headers and
footers are the same. But leave the section break before the TOC.

Hope this helps

Thanks Margaret

I changed the page number setting on the copyright page
to "Continue from previous section" and it fixed it.

Cheers
