Hi :) I guess that does explain why some books have Chapter headings taking up a complete page on their own with the back of that page empty and the contents of the chapter appearing on the next facing page. Rather than just having all the empty pages at the end they space the chapters out to gain gravitas. Regards from Tom :)

To: users@global.libreoffice.org Date: Wednesday, 18 January, 2012, 22:30 Okay, I found a way that works for me: I'll use a single side layout, make a pdf from it and then I'll create a pdf with only blank pages, merge these two pdfs and rearrange the pages - page1 of pdf1 followed by page1 of pdf2. Or something along those lines - I found a few pdf-editing-tools that have some great capabilities. It probably isn't an elegant solution but it works. Thank you all for your input! --- To Miroslaw: Well, Germany isn't the land of milk and honey. I'm getting my master's degree at a rather small university (Fachhochschule) in a very rural area because here there are only up to 15 people in one course - sometimes as little as fife people. At the bigger universities you have more than one copyshop (which is what we've got here and it doesn't bind books) and usually a few 'full' printing companies nearby. But we have computer pools which we can access 24/7 where InDesign (and the rest of the Adobe Suite) is available. And I could send a DOC but I don't like having almost no say on how the final print looks. (I do not know how that would impact the price).
