how do I get images to print on paper where they are on the scree

[jdarts]

Pub 2007 I am printing greeting cards in a 7x10 or 6.75x 9.75 size. Issue
is the image does not show up on the paper where they are according to the
screen. anybody know how to deal with this.


thanks

You deal with it with hope...

Setup your printer for the custom size 10 x 7.
Create your card as though it was a landscaped 10 x 7 publication. From the
Arrange menu, set your margins Click the grid guides tab, 2 columns, spacing
twice the margin (if your right margin is .5, set the spacing to 1 inch, check
add a center line between the columns.
Create the front of the card with the design on the right. Put the colophon on
the left.
On the inside, the standard message will be on the right.

Do not look at print preview until you are ready to print or you will be upset.

From file, click print, be certain all your settings are correct, NOW look at
print preview on this screen, it should preview correctly. You can cancel out if
you need to make adjustments to your card.

Print the current page, turn the card over, go to page two, print the current
page again.

thanks, but, unfortunately, that's exactly what I am doing. However, the
image while centered perfectly on the screen with margins set to match, the
printed version of said perfect image is off. for a greeting card for sale,
this is not good.
I end up moving the image farther and father off the margin lines. some
times I can get it to print correctly ,and other times, well, i pull out the
scotch.

I'm not sure what you mean.
What happens if you create a custom size and then select booklet in page setup?
The setup is the same. You still will not get the correct print preview until
you select print in the file menu.
