Brochure and Folding Problem

[Bill M.]

I am using Publisher 2003 and a Martin-Yale folder. The folder is designed
to do tri-folds but leaves a slightly wider gap in the center than on the
sides. I don't mind the slightly wider center fold but am having a dickens
of a time getting everything lined up where the finished brochure looks
good. Is there anything built-in in Publisher to help me. Thanks.

Measure each panel and adjust the corresponding panels in Publisher to the
same dimensions.

Have a play around with the buckle chutes on the folder.
Be more satisfying anyway.

Hi Ron,

Good idea I hadn't thought of. I have a few of these I'm doing. Once I have
the measurements figured out can I save them as a template or is that what
the Master Page is used for? I just discovered the Master Page last night.

No, the Masterpage will not assist in this scenario. Make wise use of your
Layout Guides under the arrange menu.
