Mirror Margins Issue - a Word Document with Mixed Portrait and Landscape Sections

[Simon Gleeb]

Dear All

I have found that there is an issue with MS Word 2013 that does not apply the mirror margins correctly in a document which has mixed contents of portrait and landscape sections.
I have set pages to "Mirror margins" and specified "Inside margins=40 mm", "outside margins=20 mm", and both Top and Bottom margins =20 mm.
These settings work correctly only for the portrait sections. But, landscape sections have incorrect margins, the inside margin is not maintained to allow for binding along the spine of the document (like a book).

I have attached a sample file where I have shown the problem there. I appreciate if you could help me to resolve this issue. It would be great if you could apply your suggestion to the attached file so that I can follow it properly.

Currently, this issue does not allow me to proceed with printing and binding of my document. I need your help.

Many thanks in advance!

Set the inside/outside margins to the same dimension (20mm) and use the gutter for the difference (20mm).

Hi Macorpod

Thank you for your suggestion. I have tried it but it did not solved the issue of landscape pages. These pages have all 20 mm margins on top and 40 mm margins in the bottom.
I expect margins to alternate: i.e top margins to be 40 mm on odd landscape pages and 20 mm on even landscape pages (alternate). Your suggestion works correctly for the portrait sections only.
Other recommendations?

You might get a result more to your liking if you dispense with the landscape page layout and instead insert the landscape content into textboxes that you can rotate.
