I'm laying out a document with pages in landscape mode, 2-sided printing,
bound on the long edge.  I'd like to create a gutter on the bound side of
each page, which would be on the top of odd-numbered pages and on the bottom
of the even-numbered pages. I have found out how to get gutters at the top of
each page, but I haven't found out how to get them alternating at the top and
bottom.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, there is no built-in way to do this, but you can fake it.
Ignore the gutter setting and instead choose "Different odd and even" on the
Layout tab of Page Setup. Then add extra space to the header on odd pages
and the footer on even ones (using Space Before/After applied to the
header/footer paragraph).
