Thanks, everyone.
Since my client does not do usability testing, I don't know what
percentage looks at the doc online and which prints it out. If they
print it, do they print the whole thing and bind it, or do they just
print sections as necessary?
No idea!
So, I get flack from reviewers, but they aren't the main audience. And
I don't know what the main audience does . . . . I'd be willing to bet
that they don't print the whole thing, though. Then, the blank page may
be confusing in just a chunk of printed text and online. But I don't
know for sure.
That's why I'm wondering if anyone else has tested these waters!
