Hi,

I have a printing concern. My document is divided as follows:

Front Page -> Empty Page -> Table of Contents -> Empty Page -> Chapter 1 ->etc ...

Now I want that the first page of Chapter 1 always starts as a left page. At the moment what I am doing is introduce an empty page between the Table of Contents and Chapter 1. However this is based on the assumption that the table of contents will be exactly 1 page long. In other words; if the table of contents is odd number pages long then I need an empty page, otherwise no.

Is there a way how I can do this?

i.e: say that on printing a particular page must always start as a fresh page and not on the back of another page?

Regards,
Sim085

A page style can be defined to be "Only Left". Define a new page style and set its layout to "Only Left" and its "Next Style" to be the page style of the second page of Chapter 1. You can then right-click the first line of the first page of Chapter 1 and select Paragraph. Click the Text flow tab and insert a page break and specify the new page style. That will apply the new page style to the first page of chapter 1, forcing it to be a left page and automatically inserting a blank page if necessary.
