Can I create a book (booklet) in Publisher 2000?

Did you use a template? Template newsletters will be 8.5 X 11 each side. Look at
your page setup, does it say 11 x 8.5 full page? Change the setup to booklet,
Publisher will automatically change the size for you if you are using a
template.

Mary, forgive me. When I was ready to print it said I needed printer
capabilities for 11x17 paper. I just want to print an 8-1/2 x 11 landscaped,
two pages per sheet, like you do so easily in Word. (But of course, the pages
wouldn't be in order for booklet presentation in Word.) I just am so
frustrated. I don't know where to find these answers. I am looking for an
online tutorial. Thank you.

Mary, thank you so very much. I will be researching it, and hopefully,
able
to get it figured out.

Sincerest appreciation,

Well, I just lost my previous post to you. But will try again.

I'm actually using 2003, and I see there are sections on here but don't
know
how to use it. Can you recommend a tutorial? I'm a whiz at Word (in
fact I
teach it at the community college), but this is a little more
complicated.

Thanks to you I was able to insert a page. But now I'm trying to figure
out
page numbering. I want page 0 to be on the left and page 1 to be on the
right, like any normal book. And I noticed when I imported my writing
from
Word, if it ended with an odd page number in Word, it didn't import that
page into Publisher.

Mary, I can get any version of Publisher if you think another might be
more
user friendly for me. This is a trial version (2003). I have Office
2000,
which I like, so I don't need the entire suite.

Any help you can give, or any direction you can point me would be
greatly
appreciated.

In
Publisher 2000 all the things you want to do is manual. You will have
to
manually insert page numbers.

Publisher will insert page numbers but not in sections. Go to the
background
(ctrl+m), create a text box, insert page numbers. You can cover the
page
numbers
you don't want printed with a white, lineless box.

To easily insert a page, (ctrl+shift+n), view, turn off two page
spread.
Publisher will want to insert 4 pages or how many pages to equal 4, you
can
insert one.

Okay, Mary, I hope you're still around. Don't offer unless you mean
it.
I
run into this problem: I used the booklet option in Publisher and
copied
and
pasted a word document in it. I am doing a cover page separately,so
I
want
the first page number (on the left) to be page 2, and page 3 begins
the
first
chapter. When I start a new chapter, I want it to be on the right
side
of
the book, and, for example, if chapter 2 ends on page 7, I want page
8
to
be
blank and page 9 to begin chapter 3. I can't figure out how to get a
blankp
age inserted. I've tried everything I know. It doesn't work like
Word
(Ctrl+Enter), and striking the enter key doesn't put blank lines in
either.
What do I need to do? Can you help me?

Thank you sincerely for your help.

Thank you, Mary. I'll give it a go. I'm getting weary and discouraged with
this, though. Not nearly as easy as I thought it would be. I appreciate all
your help sincerely.
