Even after wading through what seemed like most of the manual for Pagemaker 3.01, I still can't seem to find a way to print two *logical* pages on one *physical* page. Specifically, I'm printing a newsletter, and the page size is half of an 8.5 x 11 page, so we can fold them in half and make a simple newsletter. But how can I do that without having a logical Pagemaker page span two actually-logical newsletter pages? If I could get it to automatically figure out what pages need to be printed next to what others, that would be even better.

What you do is output your Pagemaker file into a Postscript file [using the command-K or F trick] then feed it into PocketBook Writer, which will print the booklet pages in proper order. E-mail me if you can't find it through your regular channels. <chaz> -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Chaz Larson - clarson@ux.acs.umn.edu "Hey, I'm no Jack Kennedy..." - Flaming Carrot ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Set page size to 8 1/2 by 11 LANDSCAPE (horizontal) then use guides to divide up
the page into 2 sections (bifold) or 3 sections (trifold). This is what we used
and it worked great!
