How do I create a flip chart document in Word
Want to send a document to a printer that will be spiral bound and read like
a flip chart. Do I need to make special arrangements for page orientation since bottom of one page will be bound to top of next. -- Sam R |

The printer is the person to ask.

The point at which the binding edge makes a difference is when you tell the printer to duplex (print both sides of the paper). Word doesn't directly control that -- the printer driver does. The driver is different for each manufacturer, and often for different models, and each one has its own way of controlling duplexing. You'll have to look through the dialog(s) you get from clicking the Properties button in the Print dialog, to see how to specify the binding. If you're doing "manual duplexing" -- printing the odd-numbered pages, then feeding the sheets back into the printer to do the even-numbered pages -- then you control it by flipping the stack side-to-side instead of end-for-end. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

How do I create a flip chart document in Word
Thanks for the quick response. I think I may have used the term "send to a
printer" in a confusing way. I am actually referring to a printing company. We normally send documents for external printing in PDF format . For the flip chart type booklet we are envisaging, which will be duplexed, the backside of every page will be printed upside down when compared to the other side. I was wondering if I could output a Word document in that format. -- Sam R "Jay Freedman" wrote: On Thu, 15 Mar 2007 15:07:05 -0700, samr wrote: Want to send a document to a printer that will be spiral bound and read like a flip chart.

Talk to your printer.

How do I create a flip chart document in Word
That's my advice, too.
The people who create the plates that are mounted on the press -- a process called "imposition" -- will need to know to place the obverse page images upside down, or whatever is required for the proper binding. But this is not something you can do in Word; there isn't any way to do it, even if you wanted to. You only need to choose a printing company that's capable of doing the job. Then let them do it, and they'll tell you how you can help, or at least not get in the way. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
