I am using the book style \documentclass[11pt,openright]{book} but the title, index starting and all the capters have larger margin in the right proper of documents opening on the left. I tried to change the option to \documentclass[11pt,openleft]{book} but there is no change on the page positioning.

Another option is to change the margins definition using this:

\usepackage[a4paper,inner=3.5cm,outer=2.5cm]{geometry}

but it seems like an improper work-around to me. I'm sure there is a way to properly set it from the book class already.

Is there any other parameter to tune? or sould I apply the geometry solution and forget aobut it?

  • The larger margins are usually on the outer side; the difference is not for taking the binding into account. – egreg Sep 27 '13 at 09:10
  • Therefore in that case if I want to take the binding into account I've to impose it with the geometry package. However i still don't get the null effect of changing the parameter openright to openleft – Sik Sep 27 '13 at 09:28

    openleft and openright has nothing to do with the margins. – daleif Sep 27 '13 at 09:29

    There is no openleft option with the book class. – egreg Sep 27 '13 at 09:30
