From: ValStGregory on 19 Feb 2010 11:30 I reformatted my document to size it like a paperback book. When I print it on letter size paper, it prints out at the top of the page with a lot of space below. Interestingly, it prints centered horizontally on the letter size paper, probably because it thinks I'm feeding smaller-narrower custom size paper into the printer, drawn centered from the paper tray. I want this paperback book sized document to print centered on letter size paper, both vertically and horizontally, without first reformatting it to letter size with larger margins. Is this possible? Thanks.

Hi there, For use with MS Word the simplest way is this; 1. Figure the hight of your book page (Example 7") 2. Subtract that from 11" (Papersize 11' leves you with 4") 3. Devide that in half (Example 2") 4. That must be your top and bottom margin. A better waya is to use MS Publisher and set up a template (With hHaders and Footers). This will also format the page sequence when you print your pages. Good luck. "ValStGregory" wrote: > I reformatted my document to size it like a paperback book.
