I don't know of a bug specifically when producing PDFs but there are more than one way to create a PDF from Word. Which method are you using?

How many sections in the document? The page setup for mirror margins needs to be applied to EVERY section.

You may also encounter issues going from Portrait to Landscape and back again. Do you have sections that change orientation?

2 Columns using the Columns feature or as a Table?
If as a table, the table may simply not fit.

Try, in a copy of the document, selecting all and changing it to one column.

What happens with the margins then.


Then go in and reset the columns to two where they currently are two.

Does not work, but I checked it with a new file with few pages and it works fine. Maybe 700 pages is heavy on the computer. I am currently working with a non-powerful 32-bit computer

It is not the 700 pages or the 32-bit computer. That would just slow things down.


What happened when you switched to one-column for the entire document?


What happens if, with the entire document selected, you set your margins and then set them as mirror?


What are the margin settings?

I understand if English is not your first language. You are doing well.
Please answer each question I asked. They are diagnostic in nature.

hi charles.
My Word software is also not in English so I have a hard time translating the commands. Anyway, I moved the text to a new file. And now there is no problem everything is fine.
thanks a lot.
i used the command object-import text from a file.
