WD97: Blank Page Is Printed with Different Even and Odd Headers and Footers

 * }

Q198592

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

-

SYMPTOMS
If a Microsoft Word for Windows document contains different odd and even headers and footers and an odd page followed by a section or page break that is followed by page numbering starting over at 1, a blank page prints between the two pages where an even page is expected.

CAUSE
Different odd and even headers and footers are often used for documents that will be bound as a book. An open book has even pages on the left side and odd pages on the right side. The blank page acts as a placeholder so that the odd pages do not switch to the left side.

Blank page printing is by design and necessary for book binding.
