Hi @Yan, maybe you are taking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CAJG2xDmto
No, I'm talking about additional margin, which ms-word has. Word has left, right, top, bottom margins and margin (which can be on the top or on the left) that reserves space for stitching, for example for stapler. Open MS Word paragraph menu if you have it. On the screenshot it is highlighted value 4cm.
Set the page layout to Mirrored: The current page style shows both odd and even pages with inner and outer margins as specified. Use this layout if you want to bind the printed pages like a book. Enter the binding space as the "Inner" margin. Is this what you are looking for?
No, MS Word has 5 margins, LO 4. "Microsoft Word offers several page margin options. You can use the page margins or you can specify your own. Add margins for binding Use a gutter margin to add extra space to the side or top margin of a document that you plan to bind. A gutter margin helps ensure that text isn't obscured by the binding." https://support.office.com/en-za/article/Change-or-set-page-margins-ca1a6948-1108-4db9-803f-a282204605c6
LO does what MS-Word does with 5 margins with only 4 and page styles. AFAIK MS-Word does not have page styles. It works very well in ODF. Please, do not try to use LibreOffice with the help of the manual of MS-Word. I you think that LO does map correctly the OOXML binding margin to its own model when importing from or exporting to docx files, please explain that clearly. Best regards. JBF
The problem is not in possibilities, but in compatibility. If I create docx in MS Word and set gutter margins and later open it in Libreoffice - document won't have gutter margins and will look differently. You may see it on the screenshot.
MS help center contains description of what I mean. You see it on the 1st picture (yellow vertical stripes)
I understand now. The attached document when opened with MS Word Viewer shows a 5.00 cm left margin. Looking at the xml: <w:sectPr w:rsidR="00E37793" w:rsidRPr="00E12A90" w:rsidSect="00E12A90"><w:pgSz w:w="11906" w:h="16838"/><w:pgMar w:top="1134" w:right="851" w:bottom="1134" w:left="567" w:header="709" w:footer="709" w:gutter="2268"/><w:cols w:space="708"/><w:docGrid w:linePitch="360"/></w:sectPr> Twips to cm: gutter 4.00 cm left 1.00 cm right 1.50 cm top 2.00 cm bottom 2.00 cm Writer: Page Layout Right and Left Left 1.00 cm Right 1.50 cm Top 2.00 cm Bottom 2.00 cm Writer should probably set the document to Mirrored and combine the gutter and left margin. The document is only one page so I don't know what the left and right margins settings would be on a longer document. Does Word use just the left and mirror it? There is no way to say how big the gutter should be when converting from odt to docx. Windows Vista 64 Version: 4.4.3.2 Build ID: 88805f81e9fe61362df02b9941de8e38a9b5fd16
Created attachment 116369 [details] test doc 2 >Writer should probably set the document to Mirrored and combine the gutter and left margin Setting doc to mirrored will be wrong, cause left and right pages have the same layout. >Does Word use just the left and mirror it? No, this is absolutely independent margin. It may be applied to mirrored margins, regular margins, booklet and 2 pages per list. In case of mirrored margins gutter margins may be only on the left side (internal side of page) In case of regular margins gutter margin may be on the left or on the top. My office localisation is russian, but I will record video, showing work of it, guess you will understand the idea. To solve this bug - 5th murgin must be added to Libreoffice, ther is no other way.

In order for Writer to support gutter margins for odt files the ODF specification would have to be changed. Supporting just docx would not require a change to the ODF specification but it would still require changes to dialogues and filters. And why support another specification over and above the one that is favoured and promoted by the foundation if you are not going to provide the same functionality. As a test, I added another page to the first attachement, saved it, and opened it in MS Word Viewer. The gutter margin was lost. I did a search in bugzilla and there does not seem to be any interest in this. Changed to enhancement.
