arranging a figure on the next even page

[Barbara White]

Using Word 2000 on Windows 2000.

I have a series of figures (about 30 of them) that should always
start on the next available even-numbered page.

I inserted a Section Break/Even Page and that does, indeed, position
the graphic on a page with an even page number However, if I was on
an even page when I inserted the section break, it often skips the
odd-numbered page completely and just inserts the next
even-numbered, so the page numbering is missing numbers.

I know that I could manage this by simply inserting page breaks as
necessary, but as the document evolves, the pagination is thrown off
and figures that should start on even/left pages shift and start on
odd/right ones.

There's got to be something wrong with the way I'm using Section
Break/Even Page, but I can't find anything in the archives here or
in the knowledgebase. Any ideas?

You've made a rod for your back, now you have to suffer :-( Anytime we
ask for specs that aren't properly supported by Word we have to go
back to a manual proofing.
