can publisher create a spiral bound calander with 2 sided print?
1. Please use the large white space to ask your question.
2. Yes, Publisher can create the files that you can take to your printer and have him create a spiral-bound calendar. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Tommy Horne" Tommy wrote in message ... |

"JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote in message ... 1. Please use the large white space to ask your question. 2. Yes, Publisher can create the files that you can take to your printer and have him create a spiral-bound calendar. Can Publisher create this to be printed at home? I made a calendar before Christmas with my own photos and had a terrible time trying to figure out what side to print what on, and getting them going in the printer so some places didn't come out upside down. I had 2 calendar set ups (files) one for pictures and one for the months and alternated printing one page/side at a time. For example the cover page would have the first picture on the opposite side, the next page would have Jan days on one side and Feb's picture on the other side. But, they had to be set up so when the next page is flipped up, the picture shows going the right way. Someone more experienced with this wouldn't have a problem, but for me it got very confusing with lots of mistakes getting it right. If Publsher could set it up for me it would help. Also, I have a Canon Pixma ip6000D printer now, that has the option of duplex printing, so, in theory it could print both sides of all the pages ready to be spiral bound? (I bought a tool to do this, like people use in offices to put reports together) This is way too much figuring out (what goes on what side and in what direction) so if the program (I have Publisher 2000) could somehow set it up? Don't mean to hijack this question, but the person asking didn't specify taking it to a printer, so maybe it relates, too. Also, even if he (or I or anyone) were to take the set up calendar to the printer, how does one do this? (I haven't looked yet, so maybe something in the "pack up the file" options?) Getting everything to come out on the right side, and facing the right way has been my hangup. ~ Carrie -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Tommy Horne" Tommy wrote in message ... |

If you can print duplex, then yes - but you still have the spiral binding to
do. Chances are you don't have one of those devices at home. And if you do, I'm jealous! -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Carrie" wrote in message ...

Maybe 2007 does that. I haven't played with it much yet. But the teeny bit I
did, I like it. And I am soooooooooo grateful it doesn't have the ribbon! -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Ed Bennett" wrote in message ...

"JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote in message ... If you can print duplex, then yes - but you still have the spiral binding to do. Chances are you don't have one of those devices at home. And if you do, I'm jealous! I do, I bought one from an ebay seller a few weeks ago. Since it didn't come with directions I looked for it in google and found it for a lower price. I'm still trying to figure out how to use it (and have it come out good) it involves punching the holes, which means lining up the paper straight (seems to be a key to finishing it, having the punched holes even and all punched open) but even the ones I made that aren't 100% straight look pretty good! Before this I tried various ways to put calendars together, punching holes and putting yarn or tristy ties through, but they didn't flip over good. I've seen the plastic binder combs for sale at Staples (they don't sell the machines) 100 for $6-something plus shipping. I'm hoping they are all standard size. Mine does up to 11 1/2 " (or so) but smaller can be done and the excess cut off. http://www.abcdistributing.com/home/...sp?P=115&G=347 This website says sold out, but there may be more. The one I got from an ebay seller (new) came to $40- $26 plus shipping. I'd wanted one for a long time, too, but wasn't sure if a home (smaller version) would work. Some sell for $200 or so (as you probably know) I haven't used this one enough, and had never used one before (and no instructions came with it) so I can't tell for sure if it works good or worth the price or what. It says it punches 3 pages at once, but I used cardstock or cover paper for calendars so only punched one at a time. I've tried it with printer paper 1 or 3 pieces and it tends to rip or not punch through good. Could be my fault, I'm not sure if I should press down firmly or pound the top. I suppose the way to set this up to print on it's own is to add new pages (for the pictures) in the 12 original calendar month pages? Have to figure out what goes where and which way the pictures have to print to be the right way when flipped up. Though I'm thinking the duplex printer will print them correctly for this. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y21...ample_page.jpg I made the title in Word (Word Art) I know Publisher has it but I have a hard time figuring it out in that with colors, so it's just as easy to do it in Word. The calendars I made and gave to the family have family birthdays and anniversaries and such on them. I also saved them in Primo PDF and emailed them to some, if they wanted to print them, themselves. I told them if they found a good way of putting them together (without the binder) to let me know. I'm thinking of other things, smaller, like booklets with recipes or pictures and quotes/affirmations. If they are half the size of the binder combs, I could cut one in two and no waste. ~ Carrie -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Carrie" wrote in message ...

The main problem I have is not enough time in the day and night to learn/try all this stuff, and I need (free) live in help, someone to do the housework (at least the bare minimum) and someone to take care of the house and yard (LOL) Someone should invent a program for that. ~ Carrie -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org |

And I am soooooooooo grateful it doesn't have the ribbon! -- One thing I like about h aving an older version is I can more easily find books to learn about it from. I just got one online for $2 (used) " Sam's Teach Yourself Publisher 2000 in 10 Mins" (10 mins at a time) Figured it would be good to have beside me and read - or look something up in while I'm waiting for pages to load (my isp says they will be getting wireless in my area in the next 2-3 months!) So far, I think I know most everything it's saying. I just tried to find info about printing calendars on both sides, with pictures and don't see it. Though I'm not sure I'm looking with the best terms. Also, my printer is probably newer than this book. One way to find out how to do something is to try it (in various ways) Carrie JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Ed Bennett" wrote in message ...
