Default Half fold card in Publisher

I guess I am doing something wrong. I want a top fold, half size card. I go
to File, page setup, select folded card, top-fold, and set my width and
heighth, set to Landscape, and ok. My project is sideways, how can I get it
so that I can view it on my screen correctly? And how can I set my margins
so that my graphics print to the bottom of the card? I am getting there but
not there yet!

Default Half fold card in Publisher

When you select top-fold, page two, or the screen on the bottom of page 2-3, will be
the inside right when you do your folds, page 4 will be the inside left. If you want
a colophon, put it on page 3, Publisher will automatically print it correctly, you
don't have to manually rotate the colophon.

If your printer limitations doesn't allow printing to the edge, then you can't.
If you want your image centered on the page, calculate your printer largest margin
limitation and input this number for all four sides in the arrange menu.

Default Half fold card in Publisher

Please tell me where I am going wrong, I feel so stupid. I open pub, go to
new, and select full page blank publication. I go to file page setup
Folded card, Top-fold card, and set the width at 8.5 the heights at 5.5 and
select portrait.

This pops it on my screen in correct layout, with 2-3 being the inside top
and bottom and page 4 being the back of the card.

I insert my text and graphics on page one, and print and it prints on the
upper half of the page with the fold at the bottom. Once I print that page
it not only has teh wrong fold, but the graphic overlaps past the fold line
by atleast an inch.

Thanks for your help, I am very frustrated right now.

Default Half fold card in Publisher

When you select folded card in Publisher, don't input anything in the other dialog
boxes. When you fold your card it is 4.25 x 5.5. If you input 8.5 it overrides the
default settings.

Kim K was very recently heard to utter:
Please tell me where I am going wrong, I feel so stupid. I open pub,
go to new, and select full page blank publication. I go to file
page setup Folded card, Top-fold card, and set the width at 8.5 the
heights at 5.5 and select portrait.


Try a Tent Card instead.

A top-fold card is a two-fold card, where you print on one side of the paper
only.
