2 Sheets per page in landscape mode

[L Hines]

I set up 2 sheets per page to use in a folded-page booklet. For the cover
page, the left-hand page (page 1) is left blank and I have some wording plus
a picture on the opposite page (page 2).
When I print it, the picture prints on the first page (and not on the 2nd)
while the wording prints on the 2nd page as it should.
How can I get the picture to print on the 2nd page with the wording...as it
should?

 

[John McGhie]

Set the picture "Inline with text" in Picture>Properties>Wrapping.

Use the properties of the paragraph the picture is sitting on to adjust its
position. (Give it a paragraph of its own...)

Then display the document in Print Preview mode, so you can see where it
really is.

Cheers

I did what you said, including looking at in in Prine, Preview, but it still
prints the picture on the left-hand side of the 2-page sheet where it's not
supposed to be.

Once you have the picture sitting on a paragraph, inline with the text, then
the picture will print where the paragraph is. So now you need to move the
paragraph onto page 2.

I am just wondering how you have your section break set? If the section
break starts on "Even Page" then your blank page will be even and your next
page odd.

How are you producing the "2 page sheet"? Columns or table?

Thank you for trying to help me!
I am producing the "2-page sheet" through the following menu sequences:
Page Layout, Orientation, Landscape, Margins, Custom Margins, Multiple Pages,
2 Pages Per Sheet.

No probs: That's what we're here for.

OK, so you have set up a landscape sheet, and told the printer driver to
print two impressions on each side of a single page.

So now you need to pull the right-hand page margin in so that the picture is
sitting flush right with the "Half-way mark". You will need a right-hand
page margin of about 13 cm if you are working in A4.

You have to get each page size adjusted so that two will fit side-by-side on
the paper.

Hope this helps

I don't know what you mean by "working in A4."
I'm not sure that you understand my problem.
I have set up two 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 (half of 8 1/2 x 11) sheets side by side.
Since this is a folded booklet, I don't want anything on the 1st (left-hand)
side.
I have entered some wording and a picture on sheet 2 (the right-hand side)
and it looks fine...and the "print preview" shows it as I want it, too, but
when I print it, the picture prints on sheet 1 (the left-hand side) and the
wording prints on sheet 2...as it should.
If I use clip-art instead of the picture, it prints out O.K. and so there
must be something associated with a picture, as opposed to clip-art, that
causes the problem.

The last thing that I wrote about clip-art correctly printing is not true. I
thought that I had done something with clip-art that printed correctly, but
when I tried it to make sure, I find that the clip-art also prints on the 1st
page...where it shouldn't be.
L Hines

 

[John McGhie]

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Now, does this mean that the picture is printing on "Page 1" or in the "Left
side of page 2"?

In other words: Your document is set up with Page 1 (blank) and Page 2 (your
first printing page).

If that's the case: we need to find out what's going on (well, I do...)

You can email me the doc if you like and I will see what's wrong.

Or: Place a few characters in the paragraph that you have the picture
sitting on. I want to see if the characters appear in the same place as the
picture. If they do, then the second page is too wide and the picture is
set left.

If the characters print in the correct side, but the picture doesn't, then
the picture is not set "Inline with text". It is not sitting "in" the
paragraph, it is "floating", and can thus go anywhere you drag it within the
document.

If you want to use floating pictures, you must then go into preferences and
display your Object Anchors, so that you can see which paragraph the picture
is anchored to. Then you need to drag the anchor to a paragraph on the page
you want the picture to appear on. And then you can drag the picture into
the correct position.

I suspect you might have a floating picture, and its anchor is on page 1.
If you email me a copy, I can see for sure.
