Re: PLEASE HELP WITH MARGINS--Daiya's "Booklets in MacWord" page with imposition software

Hi Michelle,

It's entirely possible that you are doing nothing wrong, but that Cocoa Booklet has changed since I wrote that article on a few versions back (maybe 1.5 years ago?)

If you are in a hurry, just run CocoaBooklet on a regular 8.5x11 page, and let it shrink the text and get slightly big margins. MAKE A COPY and change the margins on that.

If you have time, I should have a chance to update my CocoaBooklet, probably later today, play around with it, and see what can be done. Or someone else may have a key suggestion in the meantime.

I'm trying to help a friend make a booklet in Microsoft Office 2004. I've
been following Daiya's help page
http://daiya.mvps.org/booklets.htm#BookletPrograms
and am using the CocoaBooklet freeware (version 2.0.4). I followed her
advice and used a custom paper size (5.5 x 8.5) so that it wouldn't be
shrunk by CocoaBooklet when doing the imposition. This is supposed to help
reduce the large top and bottom margins created because of the proportion
difference.

I am still getting huge top and bottom margins and even quite large left,
right, and middle (in the fold) margins. I have even set my CocoaBooklet
margins to 0 and my Word margins to .35 and I'm still getting the huge
margins. It IS shrinking the font and text.

Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Please help me, I've tried EVERYTHING
that I can think of.
