Section Break Problem

[charles]

I'm working with a large document with each chapter starting after an odd-
page section break (to display page numbers with chapter numbers in the
footers.)

Suddenly some chapter first pages displayed as even pages and some odd page
breaks changed to continuous section breaks. Everything was fine in earlier
versions, but now, when I change one continuous section break to an odd
page break, the odd page break for the chapter before it changes into a
continuous section break, so I can't fix the problem.

I tried saving as a web page to remove any corrupt code, but that didn't
work.

Needless to say this is driving me crazy.

Can anyone help?

If you change the type of section via the Page Layout dialog box, does that
help?

Note that a section break stores the formatting of the previous section but
displays the type (odd, even, continuous) for the following section.

I'll try using the Page Layout dialog box and post a follow up.

I didn't know which group to post this to, so it's both here and in
pagelayout. You've responded there too, so I'll follow up there.

thanks,

Bingo! That seems to have fixed it. Thanks a ton.

Glad I could help.

Note that when you are posting to more than one newsgroup it is a good idea
to mention that in the original message. An even better approach is to post
simultaneously to the different groups; that way, all messages will be
visible no matter which of the threads people are reading. (I'm not sure
if/how cross-posting can be done via the web interface, though.)
