I am writing a document using the Article class. I found the default
margin settings to be too large so I set them manually.
Top: 3 cm
Bottom: 2 cm
Inner:3 cm
Outer:3 cm
Better use the LaTeX-package "typearea" for a nice printspace
calculation or use the class "article(koma-script)" that has this
feature (and more) included. See also section 2 of its documentation:

This works fine, until I enable the option to create a two-sided
document. With a two-sided document, the margin notes go off the side of
the page and continue onto the side of the the next page. So, for
example, if the margin note was on the right-side, the words would
continue and re-appear on the left hand side of the next page. The notes
are split mid-letter.
Be careful when you have margin notes that are vertically very close
together. Sometimes LaTeX's margin placement algorithm fails when you
have too much of them, or when they are to close together, or when the
additionally are at the bottom of a page.
