Text reformats when transferring from one publication to anotherThis is a discussion on Text reformats when transferring from one publication to another within the Adobe Pagemaker forums in Adobe Tools category; I am using Adobe PageMaker 7.0.1 to publish a weekly newsletter. All was fine until last week when we updated to new computers. We are still using XP. I create the newsletter in 11 x 17 format, back and front, for producing a hard copy.

 Text reformats when transferring from one publication to another I am using Adobe PageMaker 7.0.1 to publish a weekly newsletter. All was fine until last week when we updated to new computers. We are still using XP. I create the newsletter in 11 x 17 format, back and front, for producing a hard copy. Once the hard copy is printing I then copy and paste the two 11 x 17 sheets into four 8 1/2 x 11 sheets. Once that is done I export to PDF for sending electronically. The 11 x 17 is fine and all the text is in the right place. However, since we installed the new system, when I move the text, graphics, photos, etc. from the 11 x 17 to 8 1/2 x 11, I get reformatted text. What can I do to stop the reformatting?  |

| Re: Text reformats when transferring from onepublication to another Why not use 8.5 x 11 from the start? |

| Re: Text reformats when transferring from onepublication to another Gosh! Don't know! I use the 11 x 17 format because I get greater use of the space. Just a half-inch border all around and small gutter in the middle for folding. Are you suggesting that I set the original in 8 1/2 x 11 and get the printer to put them together when I set print specifications? I would like to know more about this. |

| Re: Text reformats when transferring from onepublication to another Are you suggesting that I set the original in 8 1/2 x 11 and get the printer to put them together when I set print specifications? Absolutely. This is the way most typesetters work - printers have their own imposition software and most usually prefer the file to be prepared as single pages. If you're printing it out on an office printer and it has no simple imposition options, then maybe doing it two-up makes sense, but doesn't PM come with a print booklet option? |

| Re: Text reformats when transferring from onepublication to another > but doesn't PM come with a print booklet option? It does. It's not fantastic, but OK for basic 2-up saddle stitch. Some printers which duplex often have an imposition option built into the driver these days. Iechyd da! John 23:40 16/07/2008 BST |
