Mirrored Gutters in Landscape Mode, for Binding on "Long" Edge
Suzanne,
Has anyone come up with a workaround for this problem? I'm currently facing the same issue as you discussed here in 2001. I have an approximately 100-sheet (200-page) book in landscape mode. I want to bind it along the "long" edge such that the user, when flipping pages away from him, will first see page 1, then page 2 above page 3, then page 4 above page 5, etc. So what I need is gutters at the top of odd pages and at the bottom of even pages. I can't make Word 2002 accomplish this. It will mirror odd/even gutters on left/right in landscape mode, but not on top/bottom. best regards, Marty Jones Suzanne S.

And I have read that there are some interesting NEW problems with handling of the gutter in Word 2000 (or maybe this was one of the things I experimented with during the 10 minutes or so that Word 2000 was installed on my machine g). -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne, I must confess that I had to locate a landscape book to grasp the full understanding of the *real* problem. lol Thanks for the insight Suzanne! ~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP Please post replies/further questions to the newsgroup so that all may benefit.
