Book Set up and Pagination

[Samantha Nair]

Hi Pam,

If you want to force the chapter-start to the right side, the technicians
will need to print double-sided unfortunately.

To do this, go to *Format > Page Layout > Pagination* (I work in FM10 so
apologies if the menu items or options are slightly different, but I
believe they're still the same)

You want:

   - *Double Sided*
   - 1st Page Side = *Right*
   - Before saving and printing = *Make Page Count Even* -> This option
   will leave a blank page at the end of the chapter if the text ends on a
   odd-numbered page.

You may need to adjust your templates to match as well.

HTH.

Give me a shout if anything's not clear.

Regards,
Sam (fellow sole techwriter, and only FM user here)
