96 Chapter 5 Formatting a Document’s Layout and Table of Contents
Creating a Document with Left- and Right-Facing Pages
If you intend to print a document double-sided and bind it, it will have left- and
right-facing pages. In this case you may want to vary the margins and layout on left
and right pages. For instance, you may want the margins that go into the binding to
be wider than the outside margins (as in this book, for example), or you may want to
place page numbers on the outer corners of each page. To do this, you need to tell
Pages that this document has facing pages.
To create different margins for left- and right-facing pages:
1 Choose View > Show Inspector (or click Inspector in the toolbar), then click the
Document Inspector button.
2 Click Document.
3 Select the checkbox labeled Facing Pages.
To learn about other document formatting options that are available by using facing
pages, see “Varying Document Formatting Using Section Breaks” on page 99.
Adding Headers and Footers, Page Numbers, and
Footnotes
Pages has tools that make it easy to add identifying text on every page, as well as to
automatically insert and format footnotes.
Select to set the margins
for left- and right-facing
pages independently.
Type a value for the
margin on the outside
edges of the pages.
Type a value for the
margin that will go into
the binding.
