Default Page borders in duplex printing

Is it possible to print unequal page borders, for example an inch from the
edge on the left and half an inch on the right so that they reverse on odd
and even pages for duplex printing?

Thanks
Dudley

Not borders, but margins. File Page Setup.

If you are using "Mirror margins" and/or a gutter and setting the page
border "From text" instead of "From edge of page," you can do this.

Thanks for both answers. Luckily I had already set the page border to 'From
text' so it worked straight off. I don't understand why setting the right and
left margins in page border to 0pt from text still leaves a margin of 1
centimetre.

That does sound bizarre. Is your text indented inside the actual page
margins?
