Page Layout ⇒ KOMA-Script | Binding Correction destroys Layout

[alxBerlin]

Dear all,

I'm about to publish my thesis. Therefore, I need to increase my binding correction from 5mm to 10mm (or more). However, changing BCOR just destroys my whole layout. I'd like to keep the text width and height constant (just moving the page to the right direction). (BTW: How can I get the current values of the margins?)

I'm using:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[
  11pt,
  a4paper, 
  twoside,
  DIV12, 
  headsepline,
  BCOR5mm, 
  listof=chapterentry,
  liststotoc
{scrbook}

Any help would be very much appreciated.


Many thanks,
alx

Hi alx,

No idea if this is still a problem for you, but anyway... you can easily found out the current page dimensions with the help of the layouts package:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[
  11pt,
  a4paper,
  twoside,
  DIV12,
  headsepline,
  BCOR5mm,
  listof=chapterentry,
  liststotoc]
{scrbook}

\usepackage{layout}

\begin{document}
 \layout
\end{document}

For the task at hand it is probably the easiest to mimick these settings with geometry. It should be easy there to just shift the whole layout instead of recalculating it.

Regards
