How to adjust the gutter size in Publisher

[Stuart_m]

I am producing a book which will contain text and pictures. The total book
size will be about 250 pages.

I want to have pictures going across the full width of adjacent inside pages
(eg pages 2 and 3).

If I use Publisher, how can I adjust the gutter size so that it is correct
when I bind the pages togetter ?

Alternatively, how can I have a picture going across adjacent pages in a
Word document (where I can adjust gutter size) ?

You can't. Suggest you purchase PagePlus 11 which will do *exactly* what you
want.

Thanks very much - that is just the kind of answer I was hoping for.

You can do this in Publisher, it takes a bit of adjusting.

Yes but HOW does one do it ? At the moment I prefer the first answer I got,
but then I don't think much of Microsoft software in general so a redirection
to somewhere else using finds favour with me !!

Are you going to be sending this project to the printer as individual leaves
or as spreads?

Yah but not much...just oversize the pic a tad to account for the gutter
then slice it in half with an image editor put one half on each page.

Insert the picture into the page, copy, paste, align them one on top the other. Place
the images where you want them on the page. Select picture one, crop from the right
to the center of the two page spread, drag the cropped image left to the gutter line,
do the same to picture two, cropping from the left, move the picture right to your
gutter line. Be certain the images stay aligned.

Perhaps you would be happier with a different application. If you truly want powerful
desktop publishing, try Adobe PageMaker ($500) or Adobe InDesign ($800), why settle
for Serif?
