Mirror Indents
In the paragraph formatting dialog box, there exists an option box for
Mirror indents. You tick in and new items appear.
BTW in OE should I use Reply Group? Because if I choose Reply, it asks for
POP/SMTP servers. Hence this new post with your name for subject

In response to the OE question, yes, use Reply Group.

Okay, this is new in Word 2007; as grammatim explains, it is used to indent
a paragraph on the inside or outside of facing pages. This was a fairly
common request in the past; it's similar to mirror margins for duplex
documents. It does *not* refer to indenting from both sides (like a block
quote).

How do you mean? It provides a place to set the inner and outer
margins of a paragraph separately from the page (for pull quotes and
such, I suppose).

I mean that users are often looking for a single command (similar to the one
in WordPerfect) that will indent a paragraph equally from both sides
(comparable to Ctrl+M to indent from the left or Ctrl+T to apply a hanging
indent. There is no such command; instead you can apply the Block Text style
(presumably as modified, since a 1" indent is insane in most cases).

But the "mirror indent" doesn't even imply that there *is* an indent from
both sides of the paragraph, just that whatever indent is set for Inside or
Outside will swap sides on alternate (facing) pages, so that you could have
a left indent on the verso pages and a right indent on the recto pages
(Outside), while maintaining the same margin on the Inside.
