Word 2007, page numbers won't alternate properly
Hi all,
I've written a book and I'm having a bear of a time with getting the page numbering to work properly. Here's what I have:
Section 1
i Title page - page number on the right, which is correct
ii Copyright page - page number on the left, which is correct
Section 2 (needed to keep the table of contents starting at i)
i Table of contents - page number on the right, correct
ii Table of contents - page number on the left, correct
iii Table of contents - page number on the right, correct
iv Acknowledgements - page number on the left, correct
v Introduction - page number on the right, correct
Section 3
*** After this point all page numbers are on the left side. So all even pages are incorrect.
Page 1 - on the left, which is correct
Page 2 - on the left, which is incorrect
Page 3 - on the left, which is correct
Page 4 - on the left, which is incorrect
If I try to change Page 2 to have the page number on the right side it fixes page 2 and every page after, but it causes all the pages prior to Page 2 (the roman numeral pages) to now be on the right which means all even pages are incorrect.
The simplest way to explain it is that at the point where I have marked with *** ... I have two choices. I can have the page numbers alternating before that point, if I do this all the page numbers after that point will not alternate. Or I can choose to have the page numbers before that point not alternate, in which case all the page numbers after that point will alternate.
I tried adding in a "this page intentionally left blank" page to see if this would change the behavior, it does not. At this point I'm stuck. I don't know how to get this weird behavior to stop. Any thoughts?
