Header & footer margins need to be different from body margins
I am writing a paper that will be printed double-sided, using mirror margins.
The paper must include sidebar information such as call outs and comments that will be used by the reader to navigate the document quickly to specific information and to be directed to other parts of the document.
To provide the space for the side bar, I want to restrict the body text to a 4 inch wide area. I want to use text frames to add in sidebar items later.
The sidebar area must always be oriented toward the outside of the page.
I will need to revise the document over time, both for the initial publication and for later versions. This includes incorporating graphics into the 4 inch wide body content.
I want the header and footer to span the entire width of the page, across both the sidebar area and the body text.
I have attempted to accomplish the above by using page styles, with mirroring and the use of conventional-width margins and headers and footers, and then restricting the width of the body text by inserting styles. However, Writer does not mirror the section indentations. Because of this, I have to manually add a new section at the start of each page. When it comes time to revise or add graphics, this will be an unbelievable nightmare because "pagination" will be thrown completely out of whack. It will be unmanageable.
The format I need is pretty common for instructional material.
Is there a way, or an add-on, to allowwider margins for the header and footer, whilemirroring anindentation for body text?
