2003 Inside Pages Bleed Question

I created a foldover brochure on 8.5x11 (4 pages). I have a background of
full color that crosses pages 2-3. Can someone please tell me how to set
publisher up to see this as one continuous page when printing?

Is your printer capable of printing full bleed? Basically you are setting up a
booklet, what are you seeing in print preview? Is the brochure when folded
actually eight pages? If this is the case, insert the background on page 2 and
3, copy, paste the copy, align one on the top the other, crop the top image left
to the fold, crop the bottom image right to the fold. It will print as one page.

I can print on larger paper and then cut it down. The final piece would only
be 4 pages - Front - Inside Right - Inside Left - Back. My goal was for the
final piece to look like a letter size sheet of paper folded in half, but
nothing seems to be working.

Simply setup your page as a booklet. Publisher will automatically setup the
pages in the correct order. The center pages can be created as though it is one
page, it is only when you add pages you have to do things differently.
