Background Image Span Two Pagers (Front and Back)

[Anita Taylor]

In designing a booklet, I've got an image I want to span the front and back
cover -- so that in a 4-page booklet, it's pages 1 and 4. I simply cannot
figure out how to do this, even though some of the "canned" booklets/greeting
cards do this.

The front and back covers do not appear together in layout view. If I
oversize the image on page 1, the printer just cuts it off and the back cover
is completely blank.

Any help on how to make this happen would be greatly appreciated. I'm using
Publisher 2002.

In your case you could simply create a landscape publication and print it that way,
in your booklet publication leave the first and last page blank and just print pages
2 and 3 on the back of the first Publication.

If you don't want to do this way, open another instance of Publisher, landscape, put
a guideline in the center of the page, create two identical images, align them one on
top the other. Select the top image, with the crop tool, crop the top image to the
center right, the bottom image left. Copy and paste to your booklet publication
aligning the images to the fold line.
