Book fold issue - first page only

G

Guest

Hi! I am printing a document in book fold mode and everything comes out fine,
no problems at all -- except for the cover page. It prints on the left side
of the paper, rather than the right side. What could I be doing wrong?

I'm using Word 2002.

Thanks in advance!

Use File>Page Setup to check the type of the first section in the document.
Is it set to "New page" or "Right Page"? I suspect it should be "Right
Page".

Cheers

John, I'm not seeing "right page" as an option when I go into File>Page Setup
-- where should it be?

On the Layout tab of Page Setup, there is a "Section start" setting. What
you want is "Odd page," though really this should not be necessary.

Thanks John and Suzanne -- I actually got it to work by selecting
"continuous" -- don't know why, but it did work. Thanks so much for your
help, I really appreciate you getting me back on track!
