If you want to create double-sided printouts of your documents, especially if they are supposed to be bound, use templates for even and odd pages. To create page styles for this, proceed as follows:
Procedure 10.3: Create an Even (Left) Page Style
Press F11. The panel Styles and Formatting opens.
Make sure you are in the list Page Style by checking that the paper sheet icon is selected.
Right-click anywhere in the list of styles in the panel Styles and Formatting and select New.
Enter the following parameters in the tab Organizer:
|
Name |
Left Content Page |
|
Next Style |
Leave empty, will be changed later |
|
Inherit from |

|
Category |
not applicable |
Change additional parameters as you like in the other tabs. You can also adapt the page format and margins (tab Page) or any headers and footers.
Confirm with OK. This closes the window.
Select the entry Left Content Page from the drop-down box Next Style.
Choose the same parameters as you did for the left page style. If you used different sizes for the left and right margin of your even page, mirror these values in your odd pages.
Confirm with OK. This closes the window.
Then connect the left page style with the right page style:
Procedure 10.5: Connect the Right Page Style with the Left Page Style
Right-click the entry Left Content Page and choose Modify.
Choose Right Content Page from the drop-down box Next Style.
Confirm with OK. This closes the window.
To attach your style, make sure your page is a left (even) page and double-click Left Content Page. Whenever your text exceeds the length of a page, the following page automatically receives the alternative page style.
