how to set a section to begin on an odd page

Hello,

I have a book with several chapters.

In the book mode, I would like to select a chapter and set it as a section. Idem for another chapter.

Then I would like to set all created sections in order to begin on an odd page.

How to do it ?

Hi Pierre:

 

If some chapters can begin on either the next left or the next right page, choose Next Available.

Hi Barb,

Now, for all the other chapters (chapters that have not to begin on an odd page), is it good to choose this setting (1st page on "according to availability" + "even page") :

Hi Pierre:

 

You can select Rendre nombre de pages pair, but Fm will do it anyway if the next chapter is set to start on a right page.

Hi Barb,

For the selected chapters (to begin on an odd page), I have made "Pagination"/"Both sides"/"1st page right".

But what to select in the list below ?

Hi Pierre:

 

You can select the chapters you want to modify in the book window, right click the group > Pagination > 1st Page Side: Right. Update your book. This forces all selected chapters to begin on a right/odd page.
