WD98: Blank Pages Print with Different Even & Odd Headers/Footer (198593)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q198593

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.
