MS Office Forum / Publisher / Commercial Printing / July 2007special fold booklet
I layout my book in A4, it gets printed on A0. Can I still layout from page 1,2,3,4 etc up to page 60 or do I need to adjust the pages while layouting? I read there is a function in Publisher File, Page setup, Special fold which might answer my question, but I cannot find "special fold" in Publisher 2003. >I layout my book in A4, it gets printed on A0.

Adjusting for creep, and imposing, need to be handled by the facility doing your printing; unless instructed to, you would certainly muck things up. See the thread "Preparing Punisher Files for Printing" started early this month in this group. The special fold was a Publisher 2000 and below feature in Publisher. Now it is simply booklet in page setup. If your printer's default is A4, your booklet will be setup with A5 pages, landscaped (two pages per sheet). If you want your booklet to have two A4 pages per sheet, select booklet, in the printer setup select A3 landscape.

Thanks Mary, as you say my printer at home does only up to A4 but the commercial printer will do up to A0. will the printer be able to change the setting if the layout is done in A4 landscape? > The special fold was a Publisher 2000 and below feature in Publisher.

I don't know much about prepress. I do know you can create a custom size in Acrobat before you create your publication.

Stella, Why don't you ask the printer? <RANT> Why do people post here (and in other NGs) asking what a printer can or cannot do instead up picking up the phone or sending the printer an e-mail? It's not like printers are beasts that are waiting to lash out at possible customers. I've been working them for more than 20 years and never once has one got mad because I offered to submit a test file to make sure it will work when I send the real one. Printer don't cringe when the get a Pub file, they cringe when they get a Pub file from an idiot designer. (For the record, there are idiot designers who use PagePlus, Quark, InDesign, PageMaker and just about any other program. The difference is someone is not likely to spend several hundred dollars on a program without knowing they need it and are willing to learn to use it). </RANT> Mike > Thanks Mary, > as you say my printer at home does only up to A4 but the commercial printer [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >>>I read there is a function in Publisher File, Page setup, Special fold which >>>might answer my question, but I cannot find "special fold" in Publisher 2003. <snip> > (For the record, there are idiot designers who use PagePlus, Quark, > InDesign, PageMaker and just about any other program. Absolutely ... although their 'usage' is often more like abuse ... at any rate, IME the more advanced features an app has, the more potential there is for creating an unprintable mess with it. > The difference is someone is not likely to spend several hundred > dollars on a program without knowing they need it and are willing to > learn to use it). Nobody with a lick of common sense would ... but weren't we talking about idiot designers? ;) SignatureOdysseus |
