Printing a Newsletter

[Gary Lindgren]

I'm about to start printing a 6 page newsletter. I will use 1 sheet of 11" x
17" and 1 sheet 81/2 x 11". Pages 1 and 6 and 2 and 5 go on the 11 x 17 and
3 and 4 on 81/2 x 11. When try to set up I don't any mention of pages 5 and
6.

You cannot set different page size in Publisher within one publication.

To do what you want you will need to use two different Publisher files.

The sooner you Americans change to Metric size paper, you will be so much
better off.
Many American industries have changed to Metric paper sizes as they could
not do business with the rest of the world.
In America now all scientific and medical work *has* to be performed in
Metric and with so many US industries having gone metric the rest of the
country should not be so damn backward and living in the dark ages. It will
happen, why not make it happen sooner rather than later.

OK, you want it in metric? 11"x17" is A3 (as near as dammit) and 8½"x11 is
just about A4 - that better?

There are syndicates you can material from, sometimes for free, to use
as filler. You can also use jokes, quotes, little known facts, etc. I do
this every week to fill pages.

Oh, come on! You don't take that as a good enough approximation, do you?
You ever tried designing a document for A4 and then printing to 8½ x 11"?

Thank you for the reply. Do pages 5 and 6 show up on the Printer MessageBox
when getting ready to print. What I see is 4, 1, 2, 3.

I said it was an approximation - I never said it was an /accurate/
approximation! Actually an 'accurate approximation' is a complete oxymoron!

If your e-mail addy is correct, I'll forward any messages to you!

Accuracy of approximations is very important.
And 8.5" x 11" = 21.6cm x 27.9cm, both wider shorter than A4, making it an
even less "good" approximation (especially when printing PDFs).
But that isn't the point.

Don I am inclined to use recipes as well for healthy low fat snacks, or what
ever takes my fancy.

My others ones are health snippets 'If you don't use your legs you will lose
them'.
'If you don't use sufficient dairy products in your diet, you wont be able
to stand up later in life'

I also like historical technology snippets from around the 1950 to 1980's.
