How do the 14.1pt inner margins for those page styles (OOoCopyright and
OOoFrontMatter) in the A4 book template work out in actual practice? Why
are those margins generally within the creep allowance--pretty much
rendering those inner margins unreadable? BTW, the outer margins are
70.8pt for those two custom page styles.
Those page styles are used for the copyright, ToC, index, and
front-matter pages.
(and in a later note)
The chapter pages' inner margins are much wider than those 14.1pt inner
margins to which I was referring. The book that Lulu prints was typically
6 by 9 in size with small font sizes, not the A4-page size of that "book."
But again, I do not know what the purpose is for the A4 book.
The A4 *book* template is one I put together for producing a full book
from the individual chapter files.
The title page for each chapter (page style: OOoFirstPage) is the only
page style that has different (wider) inner margins. All the others (the
ones you mentioned, plus OOoPageStyle) have the small inner margins. All
page styles (except for OOoFirstPage) should be the same as those in the
chapter template.
The A4 book is for people who would like to have the whole book as one
PDF (instead of having a collection of individual chapter files), but it
is intended, like the chapter files, to be read *on screen* (two pages
side-by-side) and not printed.
As Andy noted, I've put a notice on the GS book's cover page about this.
(It's also on the Writer Guide and the Impress Guide.) Apparently I have
failed to add upload a version of the book template containing that
notice. (I've been considering adding the notice to the chapter template
as well.)
