Setting page margins, allowing for binding
Hi, G.G. There are actually two ways to do this. Click on File | Page Setup | Margins. From here, you can set a "gutter" margin, which will be added to the left margin of odd-numbered pages and to the right margin of even-numbered pages, or you can increase the left margin and select "mirror margins" in the "multiple pages" box.

We have decided to publish same, and the question arises as to how one accounts for margins on odd vs. even numbered pages. Obviously, the binding will occur on the left-hand side of odd-numbered pages, and on the right-hand side of even-numbered pages. Presently,the left and right margins are set at 0.8". Is there a way in which one can set the margins for odd-numbered pages, and a different margin for even-numbered pages? Surely (hopefully?) one does not have to enter a section break at the end of each page, and then set the margins for that page? (Please tell me it isn't so...!) Thanks for any assistance that one might be able to provide. Gordon Biggar Houston, Texas |

Setting page margins, allowing for binding
Hi, G.G.
I guess I was half-asleep when I wrote my reply... you have to mirror margins with the first method too. The only difference between the two methods is leaving the left margin as is and adding an increment to the gutter margin, or leaving the gutter margin at 0" and adding an increment to the left margin. If you already have everything laid out, here's an idea that might save you from having to adjust the position of graphics, etc. If you added, say, 0.2" to the left margin for binding space, instead add 0.1" to the left margin and subtract 0.1" from the right margin. That way, the line width remains unchanged. Just a thought. "G.G. Biggar, Jr." wrote: Sir g-n-o: Appreciate the prompt response! When I tried the first method, Word added a "gutter" to the left side of each page. Did I do something wrong? The "mirror margins" approach worked quite well, however. (The page layout is in two columns, for the most part.) I will still have to go back over each page to perform some minor editing/placement. All of my pictures are within frames, and I may have to move/center some of them individually. Much better than having to create 75 sections! GGB "garfield-n-odie" wrote in message ... Hi, G.G.

Setting page margins, allowing for binding
G-n-O:
I think we have a lift-off! Since I already have 0.8" margins, I used the "mirror margins" feature and set the inside margin to 1.0" and the outside margin to 0.6". The only frames that I will have to edit are those that are now "centered on page." By changing that feature to "center on margin," those frames will also be adjusted to the page. Many thanks for your observations. Needless to say, they have been a tremendous help. Gordon "garfield-n-odie" wrote in message ... Hi, G.G.
