Bonnie,
Sorry, I am starting my index out on page 149, what I meant to say was that
the second page of the index starts on 150, but Word has it restarting at
page 1. I apologize for the error in relaying. Salan did offer excellent
advice that addressed the problem. The path though seems unnecessary
though, maybe Microsoft will address it with the next version. Thanks for
your reply though, I do appreciate the insight.
Kelly,
You do not want your index to begin on an odd page? If you have a new
section
for the index, and you've told Word to start new sections on odd pages, that
could be what it is doing.
I used to build books in Word. It is not your fault. Word does things
unbidden. It changes the type of section break before an index for no
apparent
reason.
In your present case, however, I would check the odd/even page setup that
you've chosen for the whole document and then make sure you've begun your
index on the right page.
