Resizing and printing problems

Hi all

I am trying to print a wedding invitation using publisher 2003. I have
tried to print using a booklet sized 13.5cm x 13.5cm, however when i print,
the pages are not in the correct order.
I wish to print pg1 on left, pg4 on right.
pages 2,3 will be inside left (pg2) then right (pg3)

Printing is done on a standard home printer.

What am i doing wrong??

TIA

The way you describe, it is confusing.
What do you want on the back of page 1?

A sheet of paper when folded is 4 pages. One side are pages 1 and 4 and the
other side are pages 2 and 3.

Hi there Don

Didn't think it was confusing but then again...

OK page 1 has picture, page 2 (on the back of pg1) has directions.
Pg3 (rhs of pg2) has invite text, pg 4 (reverse side of pg3) is blank.

Looking at the options in publisher i do not want to use an A4 sheet and
fold it to the correct size. I have custom sized paper of the dimensions
given, with one fold (like a book page)

Does that help any?

Setup your printer for this size stock, most printers have a custom feature.
Once your printer is setup for 13.5cm square and you select booklet in
Publisher, it all will print correctly and in the correct order.

Hi Mary

I have tried as you suggested and also tried removing the viewtwo page
spread as you suggested in reply to another question.

I am at my wits end, and am thinking about using the default A4 booklet size
as i cannot figure out a solution.

can anybody help me........lol

Do you setup your printer first? I cannot understand why this is causing you
your wits.

I experimented with your page size with my printers, all of them accepted the
size and Publisher would setup as a booklet. When you are in page setup, after
your custom print size setup, select booklet. What you will see is half of
13.5cm. Are you trying to change this number? The dialogue will say 13.5 x 6.75
or 6.75 x 13.5 depending on your page orientation.

My printer is set up, when the booklet is choosen it defaults to 13.5x6.75 as
you say. I am then changing this to make it 13.5x13.5.

Should i leave it as the default size?

If the height is 6.75 how will this affect the print size as i want a custom
13.5 square booklet?

Thanks again

Leave the 6.75 measurement, when you open the booklet to pages 2 and 3 it will
be square. Now if your stock is 27cm x 13.5cm and you setup a booklet, then it
will be 13.5 square and pages 2 and three will be 27cm x 13.5.

Did you get your wits back?

Ok Mary

Everything i've tried has not worked.

Could you possibly detail what it is i am meant to do....please!!

I have set up a custom sized booklet 13.5 x 13.5 in my printer setup (HP
PSC2750). I have saved this under 'Square Booklet'

Next i went to page set up selected booklet and width 13.5 height 6.75.

This then distorts my design....and if i try to print it off the design is
completely wrong.

Where have i gone wrong?

Thanks and sorry if this is really simple and i'm not getting it.

Cam, I don't know what else to tell you. I have put a PDF here

Maybe it will answer your question.
