I typeset books for publication, and I've never used a template other than my own. SignatureSuzanne S.

It looks great within Word, but when I go to create a .pdf of my work, the pages begin with my last page and my first consecutively. (ie p 215 & p 1; p 214 & p 2, and so on). Can you suggest something else? > For simple templates, you create your own. I typeset books for publication, > and I've never used a template other than my own.

It's designed to allow you to print something that can be folded into a booklet. If you're creating a book rather than a booklet, don't use "Book fold." SignatureSuzanne S.

Any suggestions? eridandie > That's the whole idea of "Book fold." It's designed to allow you to print > something that can be folded into a booklet.

Will you have it commercially printed? If so, talk to the printer and find out what he wants. I send most of my books to the printer as 8.5" x 11" pages with margins set for a 6" x 9" page. I add crop marks at 6" x 9". This is especially vital if you will be sending "camera-ready" hard copy. Unless you have a way to print it on 6" x 9" paper (and a source of same), there's not much point setting up the document that size. If you'll be printing to PDF, select the PDF printer before setting up the paper size, and you should be able to do what you want. SignatureSuzanne S.
