how do I reduce an A4 publication down to size A5?

I have created a flyer as an A4 publication. I now want to produce an A5
version of the same publication for use as an advert. Is there a way to
either:

a) automatically reduce the sizes of all the objects so the overall
publication is reduced to A5?

or

b) Keep the publication as it is, but get it to print out at 50% of its
original size so it fits to an A5 sheet?

Thanks

Phil

You send it to print with the printer set for A5 sheets.. use the 'fit to
page' function of your printer setup..

Phil Brown Phil was very recently
heard to utter:

If your printer does not have a fit to sheet button, you can use PrimoPDF
from www.primopdf.com to print a PDF file and then tell Adobe Reader to
resize it to fit the printer margins.

Hi -

If your printer doesn't offer print-to-fit, and you
don't want to fiddle with a PDF, try this:

Select all. Copy. Paste special = as picture.

Grab a corner and squish it. Results vary. A lot
depends upon the fonts - some don't react very well
to manipulation. But, depending upon the purpose,
this may serve as a satisfactory quick-fix.

Isn't it great how there are many solutions to do the same thing? :-)

but just a shame that we can't do the obvious one - that is have a function
in Publisher that rescales the document if you re-size the paper!

Wouldn't work. How would you account for the different ratios?
