11x17 printed brochure looks different than what is on screen
New to Publisher. Am using a template from a vendor for a brochure that is
11x17. the paper is folded in half so it is a 4 page brochure. I get the layout to look exactly as we want in Publisher but when I take to printer to get printed out, it looks completely different... The text box that is wrapped around a picture and fills an entire page, prints to only fill half the page. The entire text is there but it looks like it changed the spacing and squeezed it into a much smaller space. When I try to increase the size of the text box, the text beneath it goes into the overflow section because it is running out of room on the bottom of the page. I know there is room on the page for all of the text because it prints out with a lot of white/blank space. What am I doing wrong? How can I get the version that I see in Publisher to look exactly like what is printed out? |

How are you taking it to the printer -- as a Pub file or PDF?
If as a Pub file, it may be a version issue between what you have and the printer has or fonts that are being used. It would be better to convert to a PDF first, than take (or e-mail) that to the printer. In theory, if you convert to a PDF and it look correct on screen, it should look that way when printed. It would be helpful to know what version of Publisher are you using. -- James Orlando (Goofy says "Hey"), Florida "Teresa" wrote in message ... New to Publisher.

Thanks James! I was taking a pub file to the printer. I will try to take it
as a pdf file. I am using 2007 Publisher. "Jaime" wrote: How are you taking it to the printer -- as a Pub file or PDF?
