Different Booklet Format
Using Windows XP and Office 2007
Trying to print a booklet that is on a portrait orientation 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper that is folded in half from top to bottom. The resulting booklet would open from the bottom rather than from the left like a normal booklet. It would be like a greeting card that has a top and a bottom on the inside rather than a left and a right. Hope I'm explaining this correctly. Anyhow, cannot seem to get a page set up that works correctly. Any suggestions??? |

Publisher only supports left-to-right booklets, not top-to-bottom booklets. Top-to-bottom booklets similar to tent cards, but I don't think tent card handles the pagination in the same way that the booklet option does. You could design on a tent card, then Select all Group Rotate 90° and change the page layout to a normal Booklet layout (and then ungroup). -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org |

I haven't done this myself but you could try,
Page setup Special Fold Tent Then add as many pages as needed. Another way would be is Page setup Booklet Add as many pages as needed But you would need to rotate the contents 90° -- Don - Publisher 2000® Vancouver, USA "BK" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Ed. That's similar to the way we ended up handling it, but I was
hoping there would be a top-to-bottom booklet option that would allow easy page layout. "Ed Bennett" wrote in message ...

Actually, I think I may have found the answer. There is a top fold
greeting card that seems to be working just fine. I've just tried a sample project, and I think I can make this work. "Ed Bennett" wrote in message ...

Thanks Mary.
I'll be sure not to make vertical booklets. G Don "Mary Sauer" wrote in message ... The problem with using the tent card setup it doesn't print correctly; i.e., page 1 is not next to the back cover. You would also have to rotate all the even pages 180 degrees. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Don Schmidt" Don red_1987 wrote in message acquisition...

You maybe able to get it to work if you are patient and you have only four
pages. Page four will have to be rotated 180 degrees. You cannot paginate this setup if you have more than 4 pages, nor can you view a two page spread. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "BK" wrote in message ...
