Thanks DSR.

Scanning thru the docs I don't see anything that looks like what the 
print job shops of the last century called a "binding ditch".  That is 
where the output file has say a 15mm blank space inserted on the left 
edge of odd numbered pages, while that same 15mm of blank space is 
inserted to the right of the text on even pages, leave a blank area to 
perfect bind the duplex pages w/o burying the text into the center crack 
of the opened pages. Have they adopted a new name for this?

Take care, stay well
