Margins on Odd/Even Pages
I am trying to figure out out to format a document so that the left and right
margins change depending on whether it is an odd or even numbered page. This is so when the document is bound, the larger margin will be on the side that that the binding is on. I cannot seem to see how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated! |

Word's Page Setup dialog includes two relevant controls: "Mirror margins"
and "Gutter." Once you have enabled "Mirror margins," your side margin settings change to Inside and Outside. You can either add space to the Inside margin or add a gutter, which will be on the inside. Either will allow for binding. -- Suzanne S.

Hmm, I do not see a "Mirror Margins" option in Word 2003. Is that a 2007
option only? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Word's Page Setup dialog includes two relevant controls: "Mirror margins" and "Gutter."

You'll find the option in the "Multiple pages" list on the Margins tab.

It is present in all versions but in different places. Since you didn't say
what version you had, I couldn't tell you specifically. Stefan has told you where it is in Word 2003. -- Suzanne S.

Margins on Odd/Even Pages
hi all - I'm using Mirror, but my headers are printing way off the left side
of the page on even pages. I'm using 03 and not biding but inserting into 3-ring binders. Any suggestions, or should I be using Gutters instead? thanks, "Suzanne S.
