Re: Chapters must start on recto page???

[Nancy Allison <maker -at- verizon -dot- net>]

   Alas, surveys we have sent out got zero response.

   I'm tempted to redo one small document, with a small user base -- and
   with the approval of the Product Manager, needless to say -- and see if
   anybody screams or even notices.

   I think it may be one of those standards of art that are invisible to
   the end user and may make no practical difference.

   Sounds like a user survey would be useful, then. Until you have that
   data, the reviewer comments are subjective and meaningless.

         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!
