MS Office Forum / Publisher / Commercial Printing / March 2006printing a brochure
I am kind of a novice. But I made a brochure for my church. When I went to print it, there was more space at the end of the page which meant it threw the whole brochure off being centered. I used the brochure wizard so shouldn't it line up properly. Thanks for any help. Did you do a Print Preview before you printed it?

Thanks for any help. I did a print preview and it looks fine. Mary Sauer has answered this question too but I had another question to her answer that I hope will help me better understand what she wants me to do. > Did you do a Print Preview before you printed it? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > the whole brochure off being centered.

Open WordPad, page setup, landscape, type zero into each margin space, WordPad will default to your printer margin limitation.

Thanks for any help. Thank you for your answer. But I have a dumb question. Why would I change the margins in wordpad instead of publisher where my brochure is? If I did it in publisher would it still work for the brochure? Like I said, being a novice I am not sure about these things and just wondered why I should do it in wordpad.

Because when you change the margins to 0, they will automatically snap to the bare minimum your printer can handle. SignatureJoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] > Thank you for your answer.

I found word pad and tried to make the changes. These are the lowest settings it would let me do. Left .25 Right .251 Top .06 Bottom .5. Is there another way to change the settings? Also I didn't find a place in publisher to change the margins. Thanks > Because when you change the margins to 0, they will automatically snap to > the bare minimum your printer can handle.

When you design a brochure it will be landscaped and the largest margin will be on the right, if your publication is portrait the largest margin will be on the bottom. So, in your case the right margin will be .5. Are you using a template or creating from scratch?

You will have to make adjustments. In the arrange menu set the right margin for .5 and the left for .25, adjust the design to fit into the new space.

Thanks alot for your help. I have rearranged everything and it looks good. I have one more question. I am using Publisher 2000. I had it from my previous computer. When I purchased this computer from Dell about nine weeks ago I also purchased the 2003 publisher with it but they keep saying it is on back order from Microsoft. First question...how long does it take microsoft to ship this to Dell, second do I need the new version. I have read other emails on this site and people saying to keep both versions on your computer. My question is why have two. Shouldn't the newer version have everything the older version had? I really appreciate your help. Sincerely, mama > The wizard brochures are setup in most cases to use the maximum space on a > letter size paper. You will have to make adjustments.

Thanks for any help. There are features in 2003 that are not available in 2000. Might look here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX010857941033.aspx Publisher 2003 Product Information http://www.microsoft.com/office/publisher/prodinfo/default.mspx If you bought Publisher from Dell, tell them you want a credit and buy it elsewhere. Amazon promises a few days. Nine weeks is a bit much. This isn't Microsoft's fault, this is definitely a Dell issue. Get on the phone and give them grief... http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=br_ss_hs/102-6244787-7890509?search-alias=ap s&keywords=microsoft%20publisher%202003 SignatureMary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com > Thanks alot for your help.
