I'll test that workaround this weekend and see how it goes. Probably
will have to jack around a little to get the spacings right and the
page numbers located the same on odd/even. Thanks!

I believe the suggestion I've made in the past was to handle this using the
"Different odd and even" setting for headers and footers. In this way you
can add extra space to your Even Page Footer and Odd Page Header.

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

The problem is not with a landscape book (Word handles that the same as
an
entirely portrait book) but with landscape sections in an otherwise
portrait
layout. 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).

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!

pages and

treatment of

| Hi Wayne,
|
| Are you sure that the mirror margins and gutter margins isn't
working
| for Landscape?
|
| I don't have any problem with it. Maybe you can expand on what
isn't
| working.

work
