<p>I have the following MWE:</p> <pre><code>\documentclass[14pt, extrafontsizes]{memoir} \usepackage{blindtext} \begin{document} \mainmatter \chapter{One} \blindtext \end{document} </code></pre> <p>This produces the following document:</p> <p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/9wLgh.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/9wLgh.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p> <p>Now the widest margin is on the right for odd pages and left for even pages. Is there a way to reverse/switch the left-right margins, so the widest margin is on the <strong>right</strong> for even pages and <strong>left</strong> on odd pages?</p>

<p>Of course there is. Read chapter 2 in the documentation (<code>&gt; texdoc memoir</code>). </p> <pre><code>\documentclass{memoir} \usepackage{lipsum} \setlrmargins{2in}{1in}{*} \checkandfixthelayout \begin{document} \lipsum \end{document} </code></pre> <p>where <code>\setlrmargins{&lt;spine&gt;}{&lt;edge&gt;}{&lt;ratio&gt;}</code> sets the spine margin, the outer margin, or one of these and the ration between them. The above will give a spine margin of 2 inches and an outer margin of 1 inch.</p> <p>Books, which I assume you are trying to write as that is what the <code>memoir</code> default of <code>twoside</code> is aimed at, normally have the edge margin twice that of the spine margin so that when the book is opened the three "margins" (outers and across the spine) are equal. I suggest you think carefully about what you want --- print a few pages double-sided, put them together, and see how they look.</p>
