spread a picture across 2 pages

[KK]

Hello,

The newsletter I produce (publisher 2002) is in A5 format. It prints 2 pages
per A4 sheet, double-sided, which is folded in half. I've set up the page
and print options OK.

I want to include a map which is quite large, too big to fit sensibly on an
A5 page. I would like to spread it across 2 adjacent pages, probably as a
'centrefold'. Can I do this within the publisher file using a single picture
box, or must I split the map into 2 pictures and put one on each page?

With thanks

KK

Publisher should handle this for you.
I would print a test copy before your final print though, to make sure.

That's not really necessary. I did this with a company diversity brochure
and it worked fine just spreading the image across the center two pages (12
page doc).

I've done this many times, if you are really good you can use facing pages. Adjust
the map across the page, crop to the fold, copy the picture, crop the other side to
the fold. You'll have to fold carefully of course.

It's even easier if you use an outside printing service - although if you're
using a perfect bind things get a lot harder.
