Changing page layout / style of existing document [closed]
I have an existing document in LO Writer 6 that is to be printed double-sided, which means that:
- I need different left hand side and right hand side margins for odd and even pages;
- I need the page number in the footers to be on opposite sides for odd and even pages.
I have Googled extensively, read the help that comes with LO for several hours, and I'm no closer to making this work. The menu structure in LO6 is different from what the bundled help pages and the online Wike quotes; changes i make in the page style either have no effect of make page footers disappear, throws off page numbering and has other spurious effects, and the whole thing is very conflicting and confusing. I have played with page styles (left and right), tried mirrored page layout and what not, and I simply can't get any sensible result, much less the one I want.
So. Can anyone please tell me in nice, simple, one-syllable words how to modify my existing document in LO Write 6 to have different margins for odd and even pages and have the page numbers in the footer on opposite sides? :-)
Thank you!!
I'd like to help you, but first I need to tell this: there are some simple steps, and they would work, but only if your existing document has simple formatting (and it's not like "I see it's simple!" - a simple-looking document might have a nightmare of internal formatting). So there are two options:

What exactly you did and what failed?
