Hi everybody:

Sorry if this has an stupid answer but I'm burned out triying to set up the 
correct margins for my document. I'm using Lyx 1.5.5 working with  two sided 
document (Document->Page layout-> two sided) (book class) and using "geometry" 
package with the following options.

\usepackage[a4paper,twoside,includeall,outer= 2.5 cm,inner= 0.75 cm,  
vmarginratio=4:5,textheight= 25 cm,ignoremp,bindingoffset= 0.5 
cm,pdftex]{geometry}

However when I generate the pdf file. I get 

even pages

3.2 cm as outer margin
5.8 cm as inner margin

odd pages

2.0 cm as inner margin
7.0 cm as outer margin

When it should be (at least is what I want):

even pages

2.5 cm as outer margin
1.25 cm as inner margin

odd pages

1.25 cm as inner margin
2.5 cm as outer margin

In such way I should get a book document with the same central spacing as the 
outer margins. 

[0.75 + 0.5 (binding) ] x 2 = 2.5 cm = outer margin

I've checked that the pagenumber is correct, so the even pages are the even 
ones and odd the odd.
Any idea about what I'm doing wrong? I've tried so many things... 

Thank you for advance
