    On 2-page view, I want to see the pages from right to left, like so:

    enter image description here

    instead of

    enter image description here

    This has something to do with right-to-left languages.

    I found a few suggested solutions that didn't work (one that involved setting odd and even page numbers, and another one involving page breaks).

    Any ideas on how I can solve this?

    On Word 2007:

    1. Click the office symbol (top left) - at the bottom of the new window click 'Word Options' next to 'Exit Word'.
    2. Under the 'Popular' tab click 'Language Settings'.
    3. Under 'Primary Editing Language' select a language that orders pages by the style you want, for example Hebrew or Arabic for the first option according to your drawing, English for the second option.

    You need to put a section break in between each portion.

    Insert/Break/Continuous

    With the formatting turned on it will look something like this:
