How can i set up a calendar-folded book?
R. Merlin 25.08.2006 07:09:01
Dear Friends,

I have a book of 300 pages (created in Word) that i want to set up like a
calendar, with the fold at the top (or bottom) of the page. I want to print
the book on 8 1/2 x 11 paper with the pages two up. The folding dummy i made
indicates that the left-hand page of this two-up set would be an
even-numbered page, and would be upside-down, while the right-hand page would
be right-side-up and odd-numbered. This is also true for the other side of
the sheet of paper. When done, i would ideally have a stack of 75 sheets with
four pages each on them (printed front and back). Cutting the sheets in half
on the center-line would then ideally let me stack the two halves, then bind
them at the top edge...

Help!

Is there a technique or a template or something else that would let me do
this?
The only way i could see to accomplish this calendar-fold thing is to create
two documents, one for even-numbered pages and the other for odd-numbered
pages (with blank pages in each document so they would mesh) then go for 4
separate passes through my printer...

Yarg.

I would be utterly grateful for any assistance you might offer in this matter.

Yours in Hope,

M*

Post: re-flowing the text or converting it to a Publisher document won't
work for me because of the way the pages are composed (justified vertically,
adjusted line spacing, etcetera)...

Check to see if this option is supported directly by your printer. Choose
File - Print - Properties. There often is a page setup tab, and an option
for Page Layout. Peruse the different options to see if one of them gives
you what you want.
