How do you format for double-sided document?

Tim George

I am working on a report that has grown to over 100 pages. It was originally
formatted for single side printing with info in all four corners of the
header and footer. Now that the doc is so large, I'd like to convert it to
double-sided so I need the headers and footers to mirror each other on odd to
even pages.

Is there an easy way to do this globally?

Thanks

Use the File > Page Setup > Layout dialog and select "different odd and
even". This will give you different headers on your odd and even pages (the
odd one will be as now, the even one will probably be a new blank header),
which you can then edit.

If your document has multiple sections, your changes will ripple through
where you have "same as previous" on the header/footer, but you may need to
edit separately if you have different headers and footers in different
sections. If one of your four corners is a Chapter title or similar, use a
StyleRef field to pick it up automatically to avoid having to have
separately edited headers.
