gaiaswind Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Hi everyone! I tried looking through the forum and didn't find anything useful... so I hope I didn't miss something and am not asking stupid questions. My question is: is it not possible to set an asymmetric type space in the document while also keeping the facing pages/ two sided view?

Oufti Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 No problem to do that: Create a file with double pages spreads Set a Text frame where you want on the left page and a second on the right page Link them if needed You can do that on a Master page or directly in the document. gaiaswind 1 Quote Affinity Suite 2.4 – Monterey 12.7.4 – MacBookPro 14" 2021 M1 Pro 16Go/1To I apologise for any approximations in my English.

gaiaswind Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 Hi Oufti! Thank you for the fast reply. I was aware of this possibility. What I was asking about is the page margins you set in the document settings though. 🙂 As I understand, it is not possible to have different margins on a spread?

"Margin" and "Column Guide" don't allow asymmetrical settings in facing page documents. Alternatively you could use single guidelines placed on the 2-page master spread. Another workaround would use single master pages (not 2-page spreads) and apply those to all pages. For identical margins on left & right pages, one master page may be sufficient. Some workflow details with single master pages in facing page documents may vary. gaiaswind 1 Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot that you can also create single master pages on facing pages documents. Works great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
