I've already produced four books with this class so I'm fairly well used to it. I tried Koma when I first began making books but didn't get on with it, though I can't remember why. Anyway, my probem is with the marginal note option. But I've now found a workaround: the latex command \marginnote gives the marginal notes on the right side of the page with double-sided printing. And inserting blank pages doesn't upset things. -- Anthony Campbell - a...@acampbell.org.uk http://www.acupuncturecourse.org.uk http://www.smashwords.com/profile.view/acampbell https://itunes.apple.com/ca/artist/anthony-campbell/id73235412
