Set the gutter location for right-to-left documents

The feature or some of the options described in this Help topic are only available if support for right-to-left languages is enabled through Microsoft Office Language Settings.

1. On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then click the Margins tab.
2. In the Gutter position list, click Right.

   The gutters of odd-numbered pages will appear on the right, and the gutters of even-numbered pages will appear on the left. (This is in contrast to left-to-right documents, in which the gutters of odd-numbered pages are always on the left, and the gutters of even-numbered pages are always on the right.)

Note  The margin settings change when you select right-to-left gutters. If you are starting with a document with right-to-left gutters, the change will not be noticeable. But, when you select right-to-left gutters for a current left-to-right document, the margin values are switched— for example, when you select right-to-left gutters for a current left-to-right document with a 1-inch left margin and a 2-inch right margin, the left margin changes to 2 inches and the right margin to 1 inch.
