I'm creating a photo calendar and need for it to be double sided BUT to flip
up, therefore I need to have the double sided binding edge on the
tops/bottoms and not the sides....any ideas?

Thank you for posting the question. Here are some steps that could solve
your issue.

I make the following assumptions:

a. The plan is to print a monthly calendar on multiple 11x17 size
sheets of paper.

b. The calendar is folded in the middle and each month is displayed on
half of the page (just 8.5x11 )

c. The used application is Publisher 2007.



1. Install a printer that supports 11x17 size sheets of paper. If you
do not have a physical printer you can install the Generic Color PS for
Commercial Printing printer driver. More information is available here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HP101170121033.aspx?pid=CH101736131033

2. Launch Publisher 2007

3. Select Calendars and pick a wizard i.e. Bars.

4. On the right side pane press the "Set Calendar Dates." and choose
the date range. I.e. January 2007 - December 2007. | OK

5. Make sure the Page size = Landscape in the right side pane.

6. Press the Create button on the lower end of the right pane. At this
moment you should have a 12 page publication in landscape mode.

7. View | Two-page Spread. This is very important. It will enable the
"Booklet, top-fold" option on step 8d.

8. File | Print and:

a. Select the printer that supports 11x17. In our case the Generic
Color PS for Commercial Printing printer driver

b. Paper size = Tabloid 11x17

c. Orientation = Portrait

d. Under the print options you will see the "Booklet, top-fold" option.
Please select it.

e. If you want to print it both sides select "2-sided printing
options" = "Two-sided, flip short side"

9. If you used a regular printer instead of the Generic PS you should
have the desired output.
