setting up a word doc/statement
I'm trying to set up a word doc for a playbill and
somebody told me to use "statement" and I can't find it. I'm in Word 97. Any ideas? |

setting up a word doc/statement
I'm trying to set up a word doc for a playbill and
somebody told me to use "statement" and I can't find it. I'm in Word 97. Any ideas? I wonder if "statement" is half of an 8 1/2 x 11, which would make it 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. Is that one of your paper size choices? |

Thanks for your reply
It's not a choice but I can set the paper size at 8.5 and 5.5, which is what they instructed. But when I look at it and print it (and I've done it both ways) neither one looks anything like an actual page for a playbill. -----Original Message----- I'm trying to set up a word doc for a playbill and somebody told me to use "statement" and I can't find it.

Might Statement be a font? Google for it, if so.

If I remember right, custom paper sizes have to be set at the system level through the printer set up dialog. What version of Windows, Word are you running? |

Ah, you already said you have Word 97 - all I know about is Word 2002.
Can you print 2 up - Two pages on an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper? And then cut it in half? |

This is probably the answer you're going to need in Word 97. As has been suggested, "Statement" is a common name for the 5.5" x 8.5" paper size. Unless your printer includes a setting for this paper size, you won't be able to print to it directly, and you don't have the "2 pages per sheet" Print or Page Setup options that were added to later versions of Word. If you're trying to print a single-sheet playbill (four pages on the front and back, arranged 2, 3, 4, 1), then you can do this with columns, assuming that the cover page doesn't have to be continuous (since it will be the last column in your document). If you need more than one sheet or need page 1 to continue to page 2, then the booklet printing technique is the way to go. -- Suzanne S.
