6 ppg Word Doc to a Publisher 24 inch Width by 8.5 page

[Alcide]

Hello all,

I am brand new to Publisher, though I am well-versed in Word, Excel, and
Access, so hopefully that will flatten the learning curve.

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction on my first project
involving this recently neglected app.

How do I take a MS Word 6 ppg doc and turn it into a Publisher "Brochure"
(?) that is 2 feet width and 8.5 inches length?

I messed around with drag-and-drop from Word to Publisher, but the results
were a bit too complicated for me to work with. Figuring this problem out
should give me a vista to the Publisher-Office interoperability
stuff--hopefully.

Thanks in advance for the support.

Start by setting up your page size.

What did you find complicated?

Hello JoAnn et. al.,

I got the page size setup to 24" W X 11" H. Now I am trying to find where I
can divide the page into three sections to put text. The document is 6 ppg
and I want to print one long sheet with the 6 ppg front and back.

Can't find how to break up the sheet to three sections, or maybe I am going
about this all wrong.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Are you sure you want to "flatten" the curve? That means it will take you
forever to get to the top <g>.
