trying to use Book fold

[Steve Russell]

I just upgraded to Word 2002 from Word 2000. I had been using mirror
margins with these settings:

Top: 1"
Bottom: 1"
Inside: .7"
Outside: .56"
Gutter: 5.5"

Now, when I try Book fold (which is why I upgraded), I get this message:

"Settings you chose for the left and right margins, column spacing, or
paragraph indents are too large for the page width in some sections."

No margin adjustments will clear the message, except for reducing the
gutter, which is out of the question. Can I get a little help on
understanding and isolating my problem?

Thank you very much.

You must reduce the gutter because you're now dealing with a 5.5" x 8.5"
page. Trust me on this. But note that "Book fold" will reverse your inside
and outside margins (yes, it's a bug), so you'll need to swap them.

Thank you but -- then what would the gutter be?

Oh, I guess the gutter is zero.
