"...on that side" isn't very clear. Maybe "...abutting that edge"...? Also, margin boxes don't straddle the page border, so we need to subtract that out. Maybe: | The containing block for the corner margin boxes is the rectangle | defined by the intersection of the two page margins meeting at | that corner. For all other margin boxes, the containing block is | the rectangle formed by the page margin area abutting that edge minus | the containing blocks of the adjacent corners' margin boxes minus the | sum of the widths of the two page borders orthogonal to this edge. Does that work? Best wishes, Melinda
