| 407202 | 2005-11-24 22:26:00 | Hi there, I've just loaded up microsoft office 2000 small business and are trying to make an advert. I've made an advert in microsoft publisher using "Announcement/Tutoring announcment flyer" template. It's a full page advert template. What i want to do is scale it down so that i can fit two of the ad's on one page. Anyway of doing this?. |

| 407204 | 2005-11-24 22:56:00 | In your printer config [File]/[Print Setup], you may be able to select the number of pages to print per sheet. Most printer drivers have this facility. | wuppo (41) | ||

And sometimes it even works properly. :D I've learned to print two pages as a test before printing a big document. If you can get Publisher to do it you'll be winning. Look for "2up" or "2 up" or even "two up" in the Help. |

| 407206 | 2005-11-25 01:34:00 | Well i think i've got it sussed. I had to shrink the text and rearange the text boxes to fit so now i'm going to try a print out. I sort of was hoping there might be a feature in publisher that would do it all for me but i suppose i was asking a bit much. "And sometimes it even works properly. I've learned to print two pages as a test before printing a big document." Just brought a new slab of printing paper so i can have a few practise runs if needed :D |

| 407207 | 2005-11-25 02:01:00 | And man did i need them!. Got 5 sheets of scrap paper now and still couldn't get it to print two per page. I just ran it through the printer again to do the other side ;) |

| 407208 | 2005-11-25 04:01:00 | I've just looked at a book: "Publisher 2000 in easy steps". The index has an entry for "two-page spead". Unfortunately, I think that what you get from View menu "Two-page Spread" option is just to see two pages side by side on your screen, not on a printed page. :( | Graham L (2) | ||
| 407209 | 2005-11-25 04:22:00 | It depends on how things are laid out on your page but what I do is group everything together (easiest way to do this is to click at the top of one corner and drag the mouse down to the bottom of the opposite corner, diagonally, in order to select everything then click the Group button that appears) then resize the resulting frame until it is the right size. Change the layout to Landscape then in Arrange > Layout Guides increase the number of columns to 2 in order to put in a centre guide then fit your frame inside the left one. When it is the right size copy it and put the copy over on the other side of the page. Don't know if that will work for you as you will probably have to shrink fonts and things down to fit but it is the only way I know of to do what you are wanting. |

| 407210 | 2005-11-25 04:27:00 | Ok. Will give it a try. Making a hash out of the other way. | lazydog (148) | ||
| 407211 | 2005-11-25 04:41:00 | FoxyMx, your method worked a treat. Thanks. | lazydog (148) | ||
