I ran to Staples and took the CD with me. I found out
that Staples uses a Canon ImageRunner 8500. Maybe you can
tell me what the margins can be set to for that one for
portrait and landscape?

Steve was so helpful and played around with the margins
on my document to work with their printer and then seeing
how it would print. I came home with the document and a
floppy and arranged the guides to see what he adjusted
the text boxes to. He kept the top and bottom margins
at .5" and adjusted the left and right margins to .2".

Thanks,
Susan

The new employee tried to open my file on CD but had a
read problem. Steve said that it was because Publisher
tries to create a temporary file to make changes but
can't with a CD. That explains why I have had problems
with Publisher and CD's!

What should I do? I am not going to print the brochure
on
my printer but take it to Office Depot or Staples to
have
it printed. If it is printed elsewhere, can the margins
be set to be closer to the edge of the paper?

If you have your layout guides set to have a half-inch
margin all around,
and you have designed to these layout guides, you can
simply trim off the
half-inch from each side, and you will be able to fold
it perfectly.

However, most commercial printers are able to print to
the very edge of the
paper (by using slightly larger paper and trimming) -
but talk to the
printer you are going to user beforehand.
Also, if you have to readjust the layout guides in your
publication so that
they are at the edges of the page once again, you will
also need to do a
little redesign work on the publication to make sure
that everything
balances into the new column sizes nicely.
