This article was previously published under Q85392 SUMMARY
In Microsoft Word, if the insertion point is positioned on an odd page and
you insert an odd-page section break, a blank page will be generated after
the section break. Similarly, if the insertion point is positioned on an
even page and you insert an even-page section break, a blank page will be
generated after the section break. This behavior occurs because Word for
Windows cannot position two odd or two even pages in a row; therefore, it
inserts an even or odd page between the pages.
NOTE: These blank pages do not contain headers or footers.
