Page size

[SS]

Using publisher 2003

I have a brochure on publisher and all is fine. I want to add one more page
which is a form, if I print this form outwith publisher it uses a much
larger page area and is readable.
If I add to my brochure its approx an inch less in width (margins) and not
very readable.
Can I adjust just this one page to make the print area larger?

thanks

Is it one of Publisher's built in Business forms? When you add a page to your
brochure will this page be the back of your brochure or a completely new page?
If your brochure is landscape, can you rotate the form 90 degrees, would that
work?

The brochure is just blank pages and I have added text boxes etc in to them.
It will be a new page added in.
The brochure is not landscape, I would prefer not to rotate the page
although I doubt if this would help, as the `height` uses pretty much all of
the page as well.
When I say the `new` page is a form I have scanned it and add it on to the
page as a jpeg picture, as it would be too time consuming to try and
replicate by reconstructing it manually on a new page in publisher.

Can you scan your form in a different format? Might try .tif or .png. These
formats are better for re-sizing.

I can resize on the page ok, however this is the problem:-
If I print the page outwith publisher I have approx half inch either side of
the page.(margin)
If I print within publisher that page now has about 0ne inch either side,
which is just enough to make it illegible.
If I could get that one page in publisher to print `wider` it should solve
the problem.
Failing that I will print the page independently and just insert it.

Have you tried editing the form in a photo editing program? You may be able to
sharpen the picture and re-size it without losing the resolution.

I`ll give it a go on photoshop and see what I can do.

thanks for replies.
