Why do you equate "inner margin" with "the biggest one"? In a standard book layout, the opposite would be true. This has been discussed many times on this mailing list, so a search of the archives may help. Say reply for the page numbers: generally, the page number would be at the same side of the page as the bigger (outer) margin. ...dave case
