I have a 4 page publisher document. Each page is sized for 8.5x11 paper. It
is actually a booklet that I print on 11x17 paper. Pages 1 and 4 print on 1
side of the paper, and pages 2 and 3 print on the other side. When I fold the
paper in half, I have a 4 page booklet. This all works fine.

What I'd like to do is reduce the whole thing to print on one 8.5x11 piece
of paper, front and back. So I'm just reducing it in size. I could take the
11x17 sheet to a printer, and ask them to reduce it to 8.5x11, but surely
there is a way in publisher to shrink it. When I select the smaller size
paper, each page spills off the page. When I group the entire page and try to
shrink it, the text runs to a gutter.

Any ideas?  Thanks!

Select the text box, format, click "autofit text", select the option you need.

Thanks for your reply - it looks like this will work, but it still involves
me manually resizing each page. Is there anyway to have the document
automatically resized to print correctly based on the selected paper size?

Some printers have something called "Zoom Smart." Or you can turn it into a PDF and
print it smaller. Free converter here:

I know nothing about the above converter. Some folks say it works very well.
