Re: Re: [MiKTeX] Some help on getting started

[Ko-Kang K. W. <ko...@xt...>]

Hi,

The default setting for book is double-sided.  It assumes you will be printing out double-sided.  And it will make each Chapter beginning on the same side (odd pages).  If your Chapter 1 ends at, say, page 9, it will create a blank page at page 10 so that Chapter 2 can start at page 11.

If your printer does not support double-sided, you can photocopy your book and it will make sense.

The alternative is to use something like:
  \documentclass[oneside]{book}
