Fred,
This is how I see it, too. Have struggled with this for over a decade, since graphic design classes in college. Can't believe a word processing tool meant for publishing(?) in this day and age works this way. We need "page 0" on the left: a special,
non-printing page.

- Zoom to fit two pages in Print Layout view
- insert page break right at the beginning of the document (i.e. create a blank first page). This will temporarily shift all the odd pages over to the right
- do all the editing you need to do then delete the page break.

I would just add, if you add this blank page at the beginning and then format the page numbering to start at "0", page 1 will start on the right side and you'll accurately see the facing pages as they will later print.
