Book Style Layout

[AFJr]

Version Word2000

I have a resume that is 2 Letter size (8.5x11) pages. I want to convert this
one 11x17 page so when I fold this in half, I can open it like a book once
printed. I'm using a 2 column layout to achieve the effect I want.

Page Setup dialog box:

Page tab:
width: 17"
height: 8.5"
landscape is selected
apply to whole document is selected

I've been playing with the margins and cannot get this to fit properly when
I preview the document. I'm pretty frustrated. Any help would be much
appreciated.

The margins in the original doc are:
0.5" Top and Bottom
1" Left and Righ
0.5" Header and Footer

Additional info:
What's happening is the top and bottom are getting cutoff in the preview.

Assuming you have a printer capable of printing 11 x 17, this should work,
but instead of using columns, try using the "2 pages per sheet" setting in
Page Setup. This will allow you to use your original Letter-sized pages
without modification.
