Mirror margins - flaky
I have to format some documents that have been revised a lot by several
people, so I've got lots of ghosts to contend with, but not enough time to re-create the docs from scratch. The biggest problem I'm having is that the mirror margins won't work consistently from page to page. Sometimes at the start of a section, sometimes in the middle of a section, it will switch keep the gutter on the same side as the previous page. I've noticed that if I go and change it from Inside margin .5, Outside .5, and gutter .5 to: inside .5, Outside 1", and gutter 0 it sometimes corrects itself, but not every time and I'm not happy with this option since I'm not confident that it will hold later on. Also, would anyone recommend a "clear all formating" option for this document? Thanks so much for any help!!!! |

Mirror margins - flaky
Page Setup settings are per section. Your best bet may be to delete all
section breaks, set your margins, then reinsert the section breaks. -- Suzanne S.
