SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to start a new section in Microsoft Publisher publication, the new section always starts with an even-numbered (left side) page. This behavior occurs even when you select an odd-numbered (right side) page to start the new section.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you insert a section break into a publication while you are viewing the publication as a two-page spread (click to select the Two-Page Spread check box on the View menu). Publisher is designed to always start a new section with an even-numbered page when it is viewed as a two-page spread.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the View menu, click to clear the Two-Page Spread check box.
 * 2) On the Page Navigation bar, click the page that you want the new section to start from.
 * 3) On the Insert menu, click Section.
 * 4) In the Section dialog box, click to select the Begin a section with this page check box.
 * 5) Make the other selections that you want in this dialog box, and then click OK.
 * 6) On the View menu, click to select the Two-Page Spread check box. The new section starts on the page that you want, even if it is an odd-numbered page.

For more information about changing the page number that a section starts with, click Microsoft Publisher Help on the Help menu, type move a page in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topics returned.
