Default Top fold booklet

I am trying to make a top fold booklet to be printed with a duplex printer.
I have made side fold booklets without a problem, but when I try to make a
top fold booklet the pages do not print in the right order. I have tried the
"tent fold" template and the "booklet" template.

Does anywone have any ideas?

Use the booklet setup. Create the book, open the measurement menu, rotate each
page minus 90 degrees. (-90°) or 270°.

I don't see a measurement menu in Publisher 2003. Can you explain where it is?

Thanks!

I found the measurement tool bar but that will only let me rotate the objects
on the page, not the page itself. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help!

Group all the objects on the page and rotate.

Thank you, however, that only flips the objects on the page, and not the page
layout, right? Maybe I am missing something, but this doesn't help with
printing a tob fold booklet...I don't think......

If you design in top fold, then rotate each double-page spread 90°, you will
have a side-fold booklet that will print correctly. Then rotate the printed
page 90° to give a top-fold booklet.

Well you can't rotate the page, just the contents of the page. You wanted the
pages to be correct in duplex printing, this is a solution. You will have to do
some adjustments.

Ok, I think I got it.

I am designing in a veticle side fold booklet and then flipping it all so
that I can print it horizontally. It's a little hard design this way, (it's
making my brain hurt a little) but I think it's going to work.

Thank you both for your help!
