3 panel brochure - panel size
Hi
I'm creating a 3 panel double sided A4 landscape brochure How do I ensure the 3 panels have identical widths. I have used layout guides to create the panels, but when folded the two sides don't line up properly? Using 2007 Any pointers appreciated -- Martin ©¿©¬ |

3 panel brochure - panel size
Are your margins the same on both sides? This can be a printer issue. When you
create a landscape brochure the largest margin limitation is on the right. (See Ed's web page, http://ed.mvps.org/Static.aspx?=Publisher/horidiag ) When you turn the page over to print on the back you need to adjust the publication margin. I have a sample 3 panel brochure on my web page that gives you an idea how to adjust for margins. It may help. There are three versions, setup02 can be read in 03 and 07. Scroll down below the stars. http://msauer.mvps.org/publisher_projects2.htm -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Martin ©¿©¬ @nohere.net" wrote in message ...

3 panel brochure - panel size
I realized my mistake as soon as I posted. You are using A4 stock, so all my
measurements will be out of whack for you. You can change the present publication to inches in the Options menu. (Tools). A4 stock is narrower and longer than Letter stock. 8.267" x 11.69" versus 8.5" x 11" Publisher has brochure templates for A4 here http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/te...re&sc=4&av=ZPB There is a template here http://www.stationery-direct.co.uk/f...-templates.php and here http://www.office.xerox.com/small-bu...ures/enus.html These are not for Publisher, but it will give you help on the layout -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Martin ©¿©¬ @nohere.net" wrote in message ...

I'd consult the printer person. I have a few boxes of blank brochure paper
(Letter stock) the panels are not equal. One panel is always a bit narrower; it makes folding neater. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Martin ©¿©¬ @nohere.net" wrote in message ...
