MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / August 2003mirror margins vs. gutter
If you are creating a document that will be printed 2-sided, you would use mirror margins for page setup. What is the gutter option for? The best I can figure, the gutter option is for people whose arithmetic is shaky. <g> IMO, it's just as easy to add the "gutter" into the Inside Margin. -- Suzanne S.

What is the gutter option for? Hi ! I believe the gutter is used when you want to protect your margins in the document while filing or binding the pages of the document. Whereas, the Mirror Margins are used to get a view of how the page would look if printed on either side of the page. Hope the above is easy to understand, any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated. regards, Kiran >-----Original Message----- >The best I can figure, the gutter option is for people whose arithmetic is [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >. Obviously, the gutter is for binding, but I still don't see why it isn't just as easy to add that amount into the Left or Inside margin. "Mirror margins" has nothing to do with "getting a view"; it serves to alternate margins so that instead of Left and Right, you have Inside and Outside. Since the Inside margin can be set to include the gutter, using the gutter is, as I say, primarily for the math-challenged in most cases. -- Suzanne S.
