Margins on Odd/Even Pages

I am trying to figure out out to format a document so that the left and right
margins change depending on whether it is an odd or even numbered page. This
is so when the document is bound, the larger margin will be on the side that
that the binding is on. I cannot seem to see how to do this. Any help would
be greatly appreciated!

Word's Page Setup dialog includes two relevant controls: "Mirror margins"
and "Gutter." Once you have enabled "Mirror margins," your side margin
settings change to Inside and Outside. You can either add space to the
Inside margin or add a gutter, which will be on the inside. Either will
allow for binding.

Hmm, I do not see a "Mirror Margins" option in Word 2003. Is that a 2007
option only?

It is present in all versions but in different places. Since you didn't say
what version you had, I couldn't tell you specifically. Stefan has told you
where it is in Word 2003.

hi all - I'm using Mirror, but my headers are printing way off the left side
of the page on even pages. I'm using 03 and not biding but inserting into
3-ring binders. Any suggestions, or should I be using Gutters instead?
thanks,
