Section and Continuous Break Ruin my Gutter
When I use either of them, either I get blank pages that don't show in word but show up when I turn it into a PDF or upload my .docx file to my book editor service; in other words, it creates blank pages that aren't showing in the word editor, but they're there.
Or, my gutter gets swapped - gutter that should belong to the right page is suddenly on the left page Or, the section breaks just don't work - I tell it "different first page" and erase the page number from my header. Then it deletes the page number for the entire section, not just the first page - which is where I deleted it from. Help? I've tried just about every combination of section break, continuous break, and page break that seemed reasonable. Page 6 (labeled page 4, it's the second time "4" shows up") is the one I'm currently stuck at. I can't remove it from the first page without it coming off the other pages too. I think that's because of where the breaks are, but then I run into the problems I mentioned above. |

Grrrr...
It's getting screwed up just by telling it my introduction page is page #1 - it swaps the gutter What the heck? |

And I absolutely can't get rid of the extra blank page that shows when I convert to PDF, when I use a section or continuous break after the ToC. I even followed these instructions:

You have your entire text formatted for "keep lines together."
That is not a good idea. You are also using lots of blank paragraphs for spacing. Also not a good idea. 2.2 Why you should press Enter only once to end a paragraph I don't think either of those is the source of your problem, though. I confirmed that there is only one section break and that it is a "next page" section break rather than an "odd page" section break. You move from page 3 (the end of your TOC) to page 5 your introduction. In the Word document this can be seen in the status bar. I have tried removing the gutter setting. That did not change it. I changed your ToC from 3 pages to two. No blank page then. So, for whatever reason, Word is insisting on starting your second section on an odd-numbered page. I did spot the following non-printing mark in your document that I cannot explain. 00 deleteme 2.png It is right at the end of your ToC field but is not a normal part of such a field. I would recommend that you review Numbering Front Matter (Ribbon) by Suzanne Barnhill. You may want to consult with her on this. Rebuilding the document would be an option. If you do, do not copy the last paragraph mark of your document into the new document. I just tried this, copying everything from the old document to the new one except the last paragraph mark. When I printed to pdf after doing that, there was no blank page. This tells me there is likely some kind of document corruption. |

Thank you, sir!
Also, I believe that non-printing mark is from when I tried to do the section break "fix" mentioned in the link above? |
