Booklets on 11 by 17 Paper

[Daniel P. Cayea]

We've created a school newsletter and thanks to the duplexor in the printer
we get it to print front and back but we are wondering if there is an easy
way to get Publisher to print the whole think in booklet form on 11 by 17,
for example pages 1 and 4 on one side and 2 and 3 on the other side and then
folding in the middle? Your ideas and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Dan

If you setup your printer for tabloid, setup your page for a booklet, Publisher
will print your newsletter correctly without any other setting.

Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure how to set my HP 8150 to tabloid, in the
setup I don't see any such option, only paper sizes and types and in neither
of those lists is Tabloid. So I leave the printer to pull 11 by 17 out of
tray 3 and I set the page size to 11 by 17 and tell publisher to print in
booklet but it's still kind of goofy.

Tabloid is the same as 11X17. Goofy, how? When you setup a booklet, the largest
margin is on the right. To make the newsletter to look okay, set all your
margins for the same or set the right and left margins the same, this way your
publication will be centered. Be sure to set your printer to print on both
sides.
