Hi all, Maybe I'm missing something, and then again, maybe I'm not. I too have always considered it a strange paradox when I see the words "This page intentionally left blank." But there is no need to use it.
In every organization I have worked with, we have used the convention of starting each chapter on a right page. Of course, this means that some chapters will have a page with no pertinent content at the end. But that doesn't mean the so-called "blank" page is really blank. Why? Because we have always used running headers and footers, and those appear on the page regardless of other content. This means that, if there is no other content, at least the header and footer are there as a clue to the reader that "this page was intentionally left blank." No need to declare it; the running headers/footers declare it, in effect. So why does this frequently come up as an issue? 'Tis a mystery to me...

It never made any sense to me, as by putting text there it's no longer blank.
