Problem

Solutions: Negative Binding Offset
The Binding feature has changed dramatically in WP 6.0. In previous versions, the Binding Offset feature shifted the entire line of text on the page to the right on odd page and to the left on even pages. This method seemed to focus more on the inside margins of facing pages rather than the outside margins (the inside margins are the right margin of page 2 and the left margin of page 3). While this technique worked well, it did not give the user direct control of the outside margins.

WP 6.0 has changed the Binding command so that the user has direct control of the Left, Right, Top, or Bottom margins. Unlike previous versions of WP, the entire line of text is not shifted. If necessary, the [SRt] will move to either shorten or lengthen the line.

To access this feature, select Layout|Other|Printer Functions|Binding Offset.

Application
Apply Binding Offset command on a two-page document with default 1" left and right margins by retrieving a file and pressing Shift+F8, 8-Other, 9- Printer Functions.

This will bring up the Printer Functions dialog box. Then press 2- Binding Offset, 1-Binding Offset (Add to Margin). Set the offset at 1" from the Left edge and then print the document.

The printed text will then show a 2" left margin and will maintain a 1" right margin. The lines of text will be shortened to accommodate the extra 1" on the left side.
