Usage of the word 'Overleaf'

[garcia]

When you want to refer a reader to text printed on the other side of the page do you say 'blah blah indicated overleaf' or 'blah blah on the overleaf'? Thanks

Of the options you offer, only the first is at all likely; the second is incorrect. Other choices would be simply to put 'overleaf' or 'see overleaf' in brackets after the relevant 'blah, blah' phrase.

Does anybody still use PTO for Please Turn Over?

I do, if I simply want to inform the reader that the text in general continues on the other side. However, I'd use the bracketed 'see overleaf' approach - as already mentioned - if there was further information on the back regarding the specific material immediately before the brackets. That is, if I didn't want to interrupt the flow of thought by adding the extra stuff right there on Page 1.
