Alternative approach: I did a very quick test and this appears to work.

A letter merge in Word puts each rendition of the letter in a separate
section of one big file. The easy way would be to replace those Next Page
Section Breaks with Odd Page Section Breaks. But Find&Replace doesn't offer
that option and I'm not sure how a macro would do it.

It might work if you do a catalog or directory merge instead of a letter
merge, and put an Odd Page Section Break as part of the base document. For
catalog merges, Word does not put in a Next Page Section Break.
