Mirror margins and border question
I am trying to create a document with 2.5" mirror margins. I would like a
vertical page border to be placed to the right of the text on the odd pages and to the left of the text on the even pages. This will put a line separating the 2.5" margin on all pages. The purpose of the 2.5" margin is to allow white space for student notes. I am creating a training User's Guide. Is this possible? Any suggestions for how this can be done. I am using Word 2003. Thank you! |

Mirror margins and border question
Unfortunately, the Page Border dialog doesn't offer an option to create a
border on the Inside or Outside (which would be useful). But you can accomplish the same thing manually. Check the box for "Different odd and even" on the Layout tab of Page Setup. This will give you separate headers for odd and even pages. Anchor a drawing line in the right margin in the Odd Page Header and in the left margin in the Even Page Header. -- Suzanne S.
