Pub, start a section with an even number

[Gianni Becattini]

I have a document with two facing pages. I am trying to force a section to start on the number 2 in the left page. I use the Section Manager and it should work, but it continues to force that left page to "3".

I wish:

• Section 1: page 1 and 2
• Section 2: page 2 and 3

Is this impossible?

Thanks

What are your two facing pages? The usual/default way would be page 1 on the right (nothing on the left) and page 2 on the left (nothing on the right). If you have 3 pages the first spread would be nothing & 1, and the second would be 2 & 3.

I am sorry to have to say no. Any page can only be in one section. Page 2 could be in either section 1 or 2.

If you are wanting section 2 to start with a page number of 2 then that is possible, you would have section 1 with pages 1 & 2 then section two would star with the actual page 3 being numbered page 2, actual page 4 would be numbered 3 and so on.

Thanks for replying. I found a simple solution: I split the first chapter in two parts, in this way it works. The second chapter can start with 2.
