Hi Everybody, I frequently make up small booklets for my senior citizen club. It's nothing complicated. They consist of anywhere from 3 to 10 pages. For convenience, I use 8.5 x 11 paper. Each sheet is folded in half. Then the folded sheets are placed one within the other in booklet form. I have been using Microsoft Publisher to do this for the last 15 years. I use it for two reasons. 1. It has a "Fold Option". I guess that it is called Imposition in the printing industry. It is very convenient because I don't have to calculate how to lay anything out on both sides of three 8.5 x 11 sheets. All that I see on the monitor is a succession of pages. The program imposes everything for me. 3. Text automatically flows from one page to another. 2. I can insert both vector and/or raster images. 3. The cost of the program per year is trivial. I am still using Publisher 97. QUESTION: Can this process be done in the Corel Graphics Suite. Phil http://coreldraw.com/forums/p/7695/28979.aspx#28979

Hi Paul,
Thanks. Glad to hear it.
How do I go about learning how to do it. It is certainly not in the manual.

Another question.
How did you get single line spacing in this confusing forum.

1. Thanks again.
2. My eyes are 85 years old. I need a magnifying glass to read my own posts.
PS: I hate this forum format.
Phil, when you want single line spacing, hit Shift+Enter at the same time :)
You can increase font sizing from within your browser (assuming that youre using IE7) by clicking on "page", then going to "text size" and selecting "larger" or "largest". This should help somewhat.

Hi again, Paul. You can increase the size of your own text, choosing a bigger style in the Paragrapf rollover, the second option when you write a post. Also, you can increase and decrease the global size by pressing Ctrl and + or Ctrl and - in your browser

Paul McGee:In Corel Draw, create pages. Define each page to be the size of pages as seen in the book(let). IOW if it is to be one North American "letter", define your page as 5.5 x 8.5. Open print preview. Go to the imposition icon. Select from the impressive list of canned formats or make your own.
That is only in Preview, right?
How do I view both left and right page at the same time?
When printing, how to print accordingly?For example, if I have 8 A5 pages, do I print on A5 paper or A4?
1 - create a new document, A4 horizontal
2 - double click on thr page border, go to Options / Document / Page / Layout and choose Booklet and Facing Pages. Press enter, and you will have an A5 vertical
3 - insert all pages that you need, and you can do your work
4 - Go to Print Preview... ready! you don't need anymore
Thanks Ariel !
