combination document - duplex print of tent on one side and blanksigle on other side

[ronh]

Hi, I don't know if this is possible. I need to create a "tent
document" with images on both "pages" this to print on one side of a
sheet of A3 ( no problem so far) The other side of the paper has to be
duplex printed with the WHOLE A3 sheet being filled with a text box
wuth 2 columns of text. If I create this second side by inserting a
page it too is of course in "tent" format and it is impossible to set
up one text box across what are now called pages 3 and 4.

Does anyone know if it is possible to set things up so that the first
side (pages 1 and 2 are tent format whilst the second side ( page 3)
is full A3 so that I can save it as a single template and duplext
print it.
I know that my request sounds complex ut hope I have made it
reasonably clear. Any help would be great please.

Ron

I should have said - I'm using Publisher 2002

Anything you put on page four will have to manually rotated if you want it to
read properly when you open the tent. A workaround would be to setup your page
differently. It would be easier to simply setup a normal page, rotate an image
or whatever you plan to use on the back of page. Place it at the top of your
first page so when folded it will be correctly positioned on the back.

Thanks Mary - I kinda had this feeling that it would be impossible to
automate what I wanted to do - I guess that if I have several images
on the back page (the top half of the A3 sheet which would bethe
rotated one for the printed document) I would need to group these
before unrotating them (manually) for the .pdf document which is to be
viewed on screen.
Alternatively do you know how I can reference the compound (grouped)
image objects within a macro to rotate just that one rather than the
image on the other half of the same a3 page.
