Preston Orrick (prestonorrick) | 110 comments This may also be an issue in my Word 2007 Document, but in my CreateSpace proof, there is a bit of white space at the bottom of the left page, not consistent with the bottom of the right page, which nearly reaches the bottom.

What can I do to fix this?

K.P. Merriweather (kp_merriweather) | 276 comments how big are your margins and gutters?


message 3: by K.P. (new)

K.P. Merriweather (kp_merriweather) | 276 comments are you mirroring your margins?


message 4: by Preston (new)

Preston Orrick (prestonorrick) | 110 comments K.P.,

I have the following margins for my 6x9 book:

Top: 0.5"
Inside: 0.76"
Bottom: 0.5"
Outside: 0.5"
Gutter: 0"
- I have Mirror Margins selected.

K.P. Merriweather (kp_merriweather) | 276 comments Hm, that's strange...
Are you making new sections instead of using page breaks?


message 6: by Preston (new)

Preston Orrick (prestonorrick) | 110 comments No, the white spaces are happening mid-chapter throughout the book.

Preston Orrick (prestonorrick) | 110 comments Aaaah, I found it! When I open the 'Header & Footer Tools,' I changed the 'Footer From Bottom' to 0". It was currently set to 0.5", putting a bit of white space at the bottom of the left page in Two-Sided View.

I was just going to suggest you look at your headers/footers, but you found it before I could tell you. I had that problem as well. Glad you fixed it!
