Default Starting Section on Even Page


I am writing a report in book format and would like to begin a new section (from roman numerals to natural numbers) on an even page. Is this possible?

This is not standard publishing behavior, which is to start on an odd-numbered page.


However, you can use an Even-page section break to do what you want. Layout > Breaks...

See Numbering Front Matter by Suzanne Barnhill, MVP for directions on changing the numbering from Roman numerals to Arabic (1,2,3...).
