Modifying INSIDE Margins

Hi Bradley,

Barb showed one way why this could happen, here is another one:

[1] You started with a non-facing pages document.

Means: You also started with one single page with master spread A.

[2] You changed your document to a facing-pages document.

Master spread A still has one single page that is responsible as master for all pages left or right from the spine!

In a situation like that changing the vertical margins would mean changing the marigins left or right.

There simply is no outside or inside because of just one page in master spread A.

Facing pages like 2 to 3, where Master A is applied below.

I changed the outside margins in document setup from default to 50 mm:

The solution:
[1] Add a new master spread B, there will be two pages by default, one page left, one page right to the spine, change the value for outside margins with the two master pages selected.

[2] Apply master B to all of your pages ( or to the ones master A was applied to ).

Yes, you did. I'll happily mark your response as correct if we get confirmation. 🙂

These responses are out of order, but I was able to replicate the problem. See the animation, above.

I think it is the same paper size for both pages, but it is odd that the bleed is extending over the right page. 

On that note, have you been shuffling pages? Save your file first, then select the spread in the Pages panel and restore the checkmarks in front of both Allow Document Pages to Shuffle and Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle in the Pages panel menu.

I see the attachment—it shows the issue clearly.

Does the left hand page have an override? What happens if you reapply the master page? On that note, are the left/right master pages picking up the change correctly?

Can you show a screenshot of your pages panel, especially this spread? It looks like the 2 pages act as right pages. Did you move them (unintentionally) on the right side of the spine?
