Creating a book

[Clyde]

I have MS Office and Publisher. I would like to create a booklet using a 1/2
sheet of paper, where the pages would be back to back. Can this be done with
this software?

Publisher is the best application for a booklet without a doubt.

How do I set it up in Publisher?

 

[grammatim]

You mean, print 4 pages on letter-size paper and fold it in half? You
can do that in Word with Bookfold: Page Setup > Margins > Multiple
Pages > Bookfold. Then adjust your margins and font size to taste.
(Remember a book has to have a multiple of 4 pages!)

Publisher is so superior to creating booklets. If you have Publisher and Word,
Word would be the second choice.

thank you. I found my way with Word and Publisher. But I have to agree with
Mary Sauer. Once I layed out my format, it was easy to add pictures, text
and see everything at once. I was able to start and finish my 28 page
booklet last night. With Word, i could only see one page at a time. Clyde

For most booklets, yes. But if the booklet must have footnotes, a TOC, an
index, or other more Word-like features, then it must be done in Word.

And Publisher is very alien to those accustomed to Word.

Very true.
