I need to write a document that will be printed front/back on multiple sheets that are then to be stapled together.

I need to leave different margins depending if the page is even or odd, for one I need wider margin right for another on the left. Is it possible to achieve this?

What would be the best practice in this case?

You should use a "Mirrored" page layout:

Mirrored

The current page style shows both odd and even pages with inner and outer margins as specified. Use this layout if you want to bind the printed pages like a book.

Enter the binding space as the "Inner" margin.

Source Page Layout

  1. Menu > "Format" > "Page...".

  2. Select "Page" tab.

  3. Select "Mirrored" in "Page layout"

  4. Set "Inner" and "Outer" as appropriate.

  5. Click "OK"

The comment by ngulam provides a more general solution to the question of "How can I have different margins in Libre Office Writer?". For those who might find a bit more guidance helpful, the steps are:

1. Prepare a new page template in Styles

Styles > Manage Styles

Under Styles and Formatting, click 'Page Styles' icon.

Right click in the area listing the styles and select New.

Define the name of the style and the style parameters (including the new margin values).

Save the style

2. Insert a page break with the new style at the desired location

Insert > More breaks > Manual break

Under Type, select Page break.

Select the desired style.

Click 'OK'.
