Facing Pages and Margins

Scrivener Scrivener for macOS
1

Hello,

This is for Scrivener 3 on the Mac.

I have a simple book I am preparing for Create Space, and I would like to use facing pages with Inside and Outside Margins. I don’t see an option to set these margins in this manner as there is only Right or Left.

Also, I would like the Header on the Verso page to be different than the header on the Recto page. There is only one place to enter a header for each part of the preference so how does it know what header to use where?

Thank you for any assistance,
Jon

If you set the asymmetrical margins you want, Scrivener will mirror them during compile on the recto / verso pages.

And if you enable “facing pages”, you can set different recto / verso headers and footers.

See the PDF attached.

But … where is this “facing pages” option? I don’t see it (Scrivener 3.4.1). When selecting File > Page setup > Scrivener > Margins, I see only options for Top, Bottom, Left, Right, no option for “facing pages”. Or do I have to look elsewhere?
