Page sorter

[Dave]

When I am in the process of creating a new document in Publisher 2007 there
is an option (checkbox) called "Use right-to-left layout". If I select this
option then the page sorter shows page one on the right side of the page
sorter and subsequent pages appear to the left. How can I revert back after
you have created the document?

I don't see this check-off. Do you have complex script enabled? What language
pack are you using?

 

[Dave]

I am not using any scripts of language packs that I am aware of.

I have tried to reverse the page sorter tabs to no avail. When I click the right
to left and vice versa just the text reverses not the page sorter tabs. Where
are you setting this up?

 

[Dave]

Mary,

I am setting this up when I create a new document.

I select "File->New...

Then I select a template, for instance "Letter (Portrait) 8.5 x 11"

On the right side of the dialog from top to bottom there is:

- a preview view of the doc
- Page Size Information
- Customize
- Publication Options

It is under "Publication Options" that there is a single checkbox for "Use
right-to-left layout"

I have looked in the obvious places such as

File->Page Options...

and

Format->Format Publication

but there is noting in these areas that revert the setting back.

Dave, I don't have this option in my version of Publisher, I have customize
every toolbar will all sorts of stuff. I still haven't the option.

I can only guess you have some language packs installed and you are given the
right to left option. Without the language packs I can select right to left but
it doesn't affect the page sorter.

 

[Dave]

I went into the MS Office language settings and there was one other language
enabled. I deselected it and now the option no longer appears when I create
a document. It does not affect any existing documents though.

While I am fixated on the subject of the page sorter: There is a slight gap
between each page in my page sorter until I start to drag and drop pages. If
I drop a page it sometimes appears as touching the page next to it. It is
similar to when you select Two-Page Spread except that I have not selected
this option. Also all the folded over corners are bent in the same corner.

Gaps between the page sorters usually mean there is a section inserted.
