    Sara,
    I have run into a very similiar problem with items in the
    header that had to be on the "outside" when the document
    was bound. The thing that finally helped me understand
    what was going on was to realize that when the
    header/footer says "same as previous" it means "same as
    the previous" odd or previous even page - whichever you
    are on. It's as if the odds in a section are one section
    and the evens are another section, based on the way it
    acts. (I also kept running into the setting that made the
    first page of a section different, or the page numbering
    was starting on "7" or some other random number. I really
    thought I had gone insane!) I think I ended up checking
    all the settings starting at the end of the document and
    moving backwards through the settings for the odd page in
    each section then the even in that section.
    I don't think this solves your problem but maybe it will
    give you something to build on.

    I'm trying to use Mirror Margins on a document that will
    be bound. There are section breaks for some Landscape
    pages in an otherwise Portrait document. Strange things
    happen here. I'll give an example below, but basically
    I'm tied in knots with interactions between the mirrored
    margins, section breaks, and page numbers. Can anyone
    provide or direct me to specific advice on how to get
    mirror margins to work when you're dealing with section
    breaks?

    For example: the document is up to an even page. Then
    comes a table on a single landscape page, followed by
    another protrait page. But the portrait page has the
    wrong margins (those for an odd page rather than an even
    page). If I go back & change the section break before
    the
    table (which was inserted as a plain section break but is
    now claiming to be an Even page break) to an Odd page
    break, the margins on the portrait page are fixed but now
    the page numbers skip a page (the table is on page 9,
    whereas it should be page 8). Trying to use brute force
    &
    change the 'starting page' number in the footer doesn't
    work: it refuses to consider that page to be #8. Every
    time I find a way to fix one problem (margins or page
    numbers), the other one gets broke. Aargh!

    Any help appreciated.
