printing section breaks

[Guest]

How can i prevent Word 2002 from printing a blank page after section breaks
where the document swithes from portrait to landscape layout? Section page
breaks are hard breaks and not odd or even breaks, and the problem still
occurs.

Some printers just don't like to switch horses in mid stream (margins,
orientation). Make sure your print driver is up-to-date, but that may not be
the remedy.

You may get some other suggestions, but in the mean time try printing the
doc is segments Assuming 10 pages with p. 7 in landscape... Print pages 1-6,
then print 7, then 8-10.

Thanks CyberTaz...I have been printing the document in sections, but was
hoping there was a remedy out there. I'll keep waiting.

Just because you insert a Next Page break, that doesn't mean that's what
you've actually got. As CyberTaz says, printers are very lazy about printing
landscape on the back of portrait, and Word indulges them in this by
converting Next Page breaks to Odd Page. Go to the Layout tab of Page Setup
and change the section start type to "New page" (if it's something
different).

If your pages are numbered, CyberTaz's suggestion to print in chunks will
not really solve the problem. But see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BlankPage.htm for some other factors that
could result in a blank page.
