    Hello Alexander,

    I have a similar problem but the use of margin notes does not solve it.

    The job is to create a document which consists of tables.
    Depending on the position of these tables (even or odd page) some table-columns have to be swapped.

    Is this possible using XEP?

    Many thanks in advance,

    Lars Weinrich
