Hmm - Word sometimes changes New page to Odd Page for duplex printing
consistency reasons, but not normally the other way round in my experience.
There are two common reasons for "surprises" with odd and even section
breaks, though I'm not sure either applies to you. The first is that Word's
interpretation of "odd" and "even" depends on whether it thinks the document
is destined for duplex printing or not. If you have mirror margins set or
different odd and even,Word enforces the odd number on a recto page rule.
Conversely, if neither of these are set, Word works from the page numbers -
so if you have section page numbering restarting at 1 (an odd number) Odd
Page will never force a blank page before the section start.
The other thing to be aware of is that section break markers store
information for the section *above* - this includes the section start
conditions. So when you see the "odd page" legend on a section break marker,
that setting is actually stored in the *next* section marker, not the one
you are looking at. If you delete a section break, you'll therefore see
start condition legends moving back to the previous section break marker.
