How do I make a 2/3 : 1/3 page layout?
Thanks in advance for your help guys.
I would like to make a Word document with the following layout (I don't know how this will appear in the post.. but here goes) [Even-Numbered Pages] xxxxx yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy xxxxx yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy xxxxx yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy xxxxx yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy xxxxx yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy [Odd-Numbered Pages] yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy xxxxx yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy xxxxx yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy xxxxx yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy xxxxx yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy xxxxx Where area x is 1/3 of the page space and area y is 2/3 of the page space. Area y will contain the bulk of my document's text. Area x will mostly be blank, but will contain a graphic or small piece of text on some pages. I want area x and area y to be 'tied' together, but not in the snaking sense (where content first fills area x and then flows to area y). If I put for example a graphic in the middle of area x and add more content at the start of area y, I would like the graphic to move down the page, so that it stays with the original text. I also need a slightly wider margin on the left-hand side of the odd-numbered pages and on the right-hand side of the even numbered pages to allow for binding. I don't want to set the entire document up as a giant table as it is going to be several hundred pages when finished. Do you experts have any advice you could please share with me on how to achieve this look in word? Alternatively, if you could do it for me, for a fee, please contact me directly - thanks. |

In File Page Setup Margins, change the Multiple Pages dropdown to
"Mirror margins". Set the Outside margin to the sum of "real margin" + "width of x area" + "distance between x and y areas". The width of the y area (what Word considers the text area) will be what remains of the page width minus the inside margin. Write the regular text in the y area as usual. When you want to put something in the x area, use the technique shown at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/M...ueMarginalText. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
