I am using the todo notes package, documentation of which can be found here.

The current document I am working on is in a book style format - in particular, there are wider margins on the left for odd pages, and on the right for even pages.

However, todo notes seems to have decided to alternate which side it will put notes by putting them on which ever side is thinner. This isn't actually an issue on the even pages, but on the odd pages it is cutting off most of the text.

There seems to be no right/left option in the documentation, does anyone know if I can do this manually. Preferably I would put all notes on the right, since this is probably by far the easiest working solution.

Thanks in advance for any help

  • Please help us to help you and add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. It will be much easier for us to reproduce your situation and find out what the issue is when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}. –  Jul 29 '14 at 11:03

    Without a MWE it's difficult to answer but try using \reversemarginpar. –  Jul 29 '14 at 11:20

    @ChristianHupfer and Andrew, so in making a MWE it transpires this is an issue with the ecsthesis class (linked at the end), not just book as I had assumed (book is the base class of ecsthesis). I will try to work out which part of ecsthesis causes this and then post the appropriate MWE, or a solution if one is obvious. Sorry for not giving a MWE initially! – Joe Tait Jul 29 '14 at 11:39
  • Probably this does not help, but ... what about the inline option? – Fran Jul 29 '14 at 11:56

    BTW, texdoc todonotes > see section 1.6.5 (page 9). – Fran Jul 29 '14 at 11:59
  • Another thing worth trying is \usepackage{mparhack}. –  Jul 29 '14 at 13:46
  • Old question, but one comment: The usual behaviour is for the outer margin to be wider, so odd pages should have a wider right margin, see http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/42063/586. By the way, that class and template has something of a history, see https://github.com/johannesbottcher/templateConfusion/blob/master/ourFamousThesisTemplate.md – Torbjørn T. Apr 28 '16 at 10:55

Try in your preamble

\reversemarginpar

But this only works for all notes. Problem described here.
