I've got a 150 page document that is largely portrait, but does have some landscape pages inserted to deal with tables. Please can you advise if it is possible to have mirrored margins for the landscape pages too? I have set it all up, but it is not changing! Can anyone advise?

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
That is exactly what I was addressing. The top on a landscape page is actually at the left or right of the page when it is bound. It's impossible to discuss this without some confusion, but my suggested solution addresses exactly what is asked, creating a gutter on every page.
I assume what you want is to have the same apparent margins on the landscape pages as on the portrait. For example, let's say that for the portrait pages you have 1" margins all around except a 1.25" Inside margin (left for recto/odd pages, right for verso/even pages).
This means that the landscape pages will have 1" top and bottom margins, with 1.25" alternating from left to right (the "inside" margin). But what you want is 1" left and right (which will be the bottom and top when bound) and 1.25" top or bottom (the Inside margin when bound). This can be accomplished, but you have to enable Different Odd and Even if you have not already done so. This gives you separate headers and footers for the odd and even pages. This is a document setting (you can't set it for just selected sections as you can Different First Page), so if you hadn't already enabled it, you will find that you have to copy the content from the Odd Page Header (the Primary header) into the Even Page Header.
Unlink the landscape sections from the preceding and following portrait sections. In the landscape sections, set the left and right margins to 1" (they'll still be "mirrored," but they're the same). Then in the Odd Page Header, add enough Spacing After to the header text to push the top margin down to 1.25". In the Even Page Footer, add enough Spacing Before to push the bottom margin up to 1.25".
Yes. The Landscape pages won't mirror! The portrait pages are no problem!
Thanks. That is much appreciated. I'm happy to leave the link for half an hour if you could have a look quickly for me?

Thanks!
Hi,
Yes, you can. For landscape pages, the inside/outside refer to the top and bottom margins. For portrait pages, to the left and right margins.
If you want, save a sample document with the problem on OneDrive or Dropbox and paste a link here. Remove any confidential or sensitive information first. I can take a look at it. I may be able to fix it for you and explain what I did.
I hope this information helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions or require further help.
Regards
