OOo automatically forces odds and evens to right and left. No need

pages, as noted above.

Thanks for this info, Jean. What seems to have happened to Joe was
that the blank pages were not automatically inserted, he had to add
one manually. I tried a test document where I reset page number 4 to
page number 1 (with page style Default), and no blank page 4 was
generated, so the print would not have worked for duplex. (Left got
only page 2, right got 1, 3, and 1.) What exactly governs whether
Writer generates the blank pages?
I'm not Jean, but I think it depends only on the setting at Tools |
Options... | OpenOffice.org Writer | Print | Other | Print
automatically inserted blank pages (also reachable on the fly at File
| Print... | Options... | Other | Print automatically inserted blank
pages). With this ticked, you get the blank page; without it, you
don't. Either way, the same pages are treated as left and right.
I think the point of this setting is that you will want it ticked if
you are actually intending to print double-sided (whether you achieve
this manually or automatically) and not ticked - to avoid a pointless
totally blank sheet - if you are printing single-sided.
