Default Mirroring borders when mirroring margins

Is there any way to set up a document such that the page
border (one vertical line only) stays with the larger of
the 2 left and right margins? ie, if left margin=1.25
and right=.05, then vertical line page border appears on
the left...if right margin=1.25 and left=.05, then
vertical line page border appears on the right...

Or is there another way altogether to achieve this?

Thanks,
MM

Use different left and right headers. Attach the border to the headers, on
opposite sides.

Tried that..can't get it to work. Is there a certain
order to the steps that I should take? Should the border
be applied to this section, whole document, or...? I
have tried several variation to no avail. Do I need some
type of break (page, continuous...) on each page of the
document? Thanks! I will keep trying!

Might help if you explain what's going wrong. No, you don't need any breaks.
Left-and-right margins should be applied to whatever part of the document
you want ot use them for -- entire document or just a section, your choice.
The border should be applied to the HEADER. So you'll need to apply it
twice, once to the even page header, once to the odd.

The problem, Jezebel, is that the OP is talking about a page border, and
there doesn't seem to be any easy way to mirror that.

I don't believe you can use a Page Border for what you are trying to do.
You'll need to create the border manually. That means you won't be able to
use Border Art, but you can create many of the fancy line borders using
drawing objects.

The first thing you'll need to do is check the box for "Different odd and
even" on the Layout tab of Page Setup. This will give you a separate Odd
Page Header and Even Page Header. Working in each of those headers in turn,
insert drawing lines to create your border. Because you are working in the
header pane, every line you draw will be anchored to the header paragraph
and so will repeat on every odd or even page.
