booklets with borders
I am TRYING to finish my thesis, but I need a border to change sides of the
paper -- i.e., odd pages border on right, even pages border on left. That way when the pages are back to back the border is on the outside of the book where you turn the pages. I can get it to work for the first two pages, through page formatting, but from page 3 on, it will always stay like the odd page. HELP!! |

Theses usually have strict formatting requirements, and usually are not
printed duplex, and I'm surprised this would be accepted by the institution--but, the proper way would be to turn on Odd/Even Headers and Footers in File | Page Setup | Layout or via the header/footer toolbar. Then anchor the border in the right of the odd page footer, and the left of the even page footer. If you have been using the Page Border feature, delete everything you did and start over. If you have done what I suggest and it isn't working, please explain exactly what you did, and what happened instead, and what version of Word and OS you are using. For detailed information about using the features I recommend, see: http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/wordfaqs/AnchorToHeader.htm http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/wordfaqs/HeaderFooter.htm Mary wrote: I am TRYING to finish my thesis, but I need a border to change sides of the paper -- i.e., odd pages border on right, even pages border on left.

Thanks for your help! I'll give it a try.
I know usually schools are very strict with the format of their thesis study, and it is for every other department in my university. But, I am receiving an MFA -- fine arts -- interior architecture. They want it to look like we are art majors. Alot of the formats go "out the window"! Again... thanks. Will give it a try later!! I'll let you know how it goes!! |
