I'm creating a booklet using landscape and the bookfold feature, as well as
the Cover Page option. I've modified the cover page by adding a couple of
graphics. The document will not print correctly with the added graphics. I've
tried to group the objects, but this did not help. Can you assist?
 
Hello Marsha

does it print correctly _without_ the added graphics? How did you add
what kinds of graphics? In what way does it not print correctly?

1) Does it print correctly without the added graphics? yes
2) How did you add what kinds of graphics? I used Insert - Picture, then
selected two different logos
3) In what way does it not print correctly? The logos should be on the cover
page (right hand side of a landscape booklet); instead they are appear all
the way to the left (which is the last page of my booklet, on top of text.)

where did you insert them exactly? In the header or footer area of the
front page? When you go to PrintPreview (Office button, Print, Preview),
how does it look like? If there's a difference between this view and the
printed text, it could be a printer driver issue.

If you turn off any booklet printing settings, how does the first page
print then?

1) where did you insert them exactly? Under the Insert ribbon, Cover Page
option, I used the built-in Motion Cover Page - I deleted the built-in
picture, and placed my two logos directly below the horizontal title block.
2) In the header or footer area of the front page? no
3) When you go to PrintPreview (Office button, Print, Preview), how does it
look like? The page looks accurate; however, since I'm using the booklet
feature--it doesn't show how it will print--it shows page 1, page 2, etc...
4) If there's a difference between this view and the printed text, it could
be a printer driver issue. Instead of printing each time, I'm been saving as
an adobe file so I can see how it will print. It shows the logos all the way
to the left on top of the text, exactly as it prints.

5) If you turn off any booklet printing settings, how does the first page
print then? The logos print exactly where they should appear. However, the
layout is incorrect. Page 1 is on the left.

Does this help? After everything I've tried, I think it has something to do
with the bookfold feature, rather than the cover page. Do you have any
suggestions?

I just did the same (same cover page building block), and inserted two
pictures. To accurately place them, I've set their layout options to
something different than "Inline with text". [I'm usually not a fan of
Word in conjunction with floating pictures, but for this purpose it
seems appropriate).

2) In the header or footer area of the front page? no

My PDF looks exactly like Word in all views (those views that show
floating pictures, that is :-)). I cannot really print here, but at
least it does not repro your Word's behavior ...

5) If you turn off any booklet printing settings, how does the first page

layout is incorrect. Page 1 is on the left.

Not really. The booklet feature you're using is in the first tab of the
Page Setup dialog, correct?
