The question here is whether your printer actually has a definition for the
6 x 8.5" paper size. If not, and if you're setting it up as a Custom size,
then you're probably doomed to disappointment. Instead, set it up as Letter
(or the closest larger size) and increase the margins accordingly (including
the required gutter or different in Mirror Margins).

I frequently create documents intended to go into 6 x 8 1/2" binders.
This
presents a problem when printing on both sides of the page using that page
size. That is, the text on the second side of the page does not align
properly (horizontally) unless the second side is separately formatted as
a
different 'section.' As the document grows in size, this makes
double-sided
printing complex and awkward.
When a table is involved, the situation is even worse. I know of no
solution without actually splitting the table -- in most cases that's a
cure
that's worse than the disease.
I have not found that activating 'mirror margins' helps, as it seems to
have
been designed with only an 8 1/2 x 11" sheet of paper in mind.
Any ideas?
Replies appreciated.
