Hi all. I have a book ms. using the basic book style.
I notice with approval that the margins are offset
depending on whether the page is even or odd.
But here is where I am confused. In my document the
odd numbered pages have a small left margin / large
right margin whereas the even numbered pages have
a small right margin / large left margin.
Shouldn't the large margin be on the side of the
page where the binding will be? And aren't odd
pages always on the right in books? I realize Lyx
can't be this screwed up, so I must be looking
at things wrong. An explanation would be
appreciated.
Yes, it's supposed to be as you said---assuming you're using a
left-to-right language. The numbering must have gotten messed up
somehow. How, it is impossible to say, absent more info.
