Importing - newbie question

I'm using Pub2003, SP3, under XP Pro SP3, everything fully patched. I'm
trying to prepare a little book for printing. I open a blank document in
Pub, set printer page to A5 (the same as I typed the pages in Word) but
whenever I import the Word document, Pub returns to A4 size pages. If I try
to reset the print pages to A5 I end up with what I can only describe as a
mess. Any ideas, anyone?

TIA

John

Create a text box, with the cursor in the text box right-click, click change
text, text file, browse to your Word file.
Have you setup your publication as a booklet?

Perfect! Thanks very much. No, I'm leaving it as a collection of pages,
using Pub to insert pictures, etc, then shipping the lot off to a printer
(person, not machine) to do the production work

Glad I could help, thanks for posting back.
