shrinking publication
Hi,
I have generated a 2 page A5 publication and am trying to print it. I have adjusted the magins, and it looks perfect on screen, but when I print (2 pages to an A4 sheet) it shrinks each page so that the margins are bout an inch wide. It doesn't cut anything off, just makes my text really small. All other programs (Word, Outlook, Excel etc) print fine. Can anyone help?

Have you thought about setting up your page A6 which is half of A4? A5 is a
postcard size I think. US measurements are different. What version Publisher are you using? -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "naomi" wrote in message ...

I'm using Publisher 07.
I'm sure GbH is right and A5 is half of A4. The page measurements say 14.8 x 21cm. I have been playing around with every setting I can find. All I have managed to do is get it to print all the way to the margins but at half size (i.e on a A4 sheet my 2 pages are taking up the top half of the page in portrait orientation). I want it in landscape taking the whole page, which is what everything in "Print set-up" says, and what the print preview looks like. Aaaarrrggghh!!! Can anyone help!

Setup your page this way,
File, Page Setup, click the advanced on the right, Page: 14.8cm Width - - 21cm Height Layout type: Multiple pages per sheet Options: Target sheet size: Custom, Sheet width: 29.7, Sheet height: 21cm. Zero margins and gaps. The mini preview will say two columns of one. You will have one copy on your screen. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "naomi" wrote in message ... I'm using Publisher 07.

thanks but it didn't work
 Still shrinking to half size and printing on top half of a portrait A4 sheet. This is really odd.

Otherwise, as per my first post, I can get it to print 2 to a page as I want,
but the margins are huge (actually, the text comes out the same size as when it prints on a quarter of a page each..... but my page size is correct - custom 21 x 14.8cm) "naomi" wrote: thanks but it didn't work Still shrinking to half size and printing on top half of a portrait A4 sheet.

Ok. FINALLY got it to work. Not entirely sure how....! I think the only
thing I did was change it to multiple copies per sheet instead of multiple pages per sheet.

I have also had problems with something like this and triedthis but the pages
went into the wrong position. I have a four fold publication on A6 which i want to change to a 2 fold publication , ie a Christmas card - onto A5. So I still have the same number of pages front 2 inside and a back page but I want to use A5. I thought that I would just be able to change the page size, click print pages 1 and 4 and then turn over the paper in the printer and click 2 and 3 and it would work but it hasn't. Any suggestions please. I've also tried to find a 2 fold template but haven't succeedded. many thanks sandra -- SEW "Mary Sauer" wrote: Good for you Naomi, Thanks for posting your success, it is appreciated. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "naomi" wrote in message ...
