half sheet planner pages
I figured out that I can use a "Booklet" format to create my pages for a
special planner (Day-timers "Desk" size), but can you tell me how to adjust the margins to allow for the holes for the 3-ring or 7-ring binder? I am creating a "Control Journal" a la "Fly Lady" that will be housed in my day planner binder. I use paper provided by Day-timers that is pre-punched and pre-perfed. What I cannot figure out is how to allow enough space at the side where the ring holes will be located. When the paper is placed into the printer, the sheet feeds with the holes going through last, meaning that the page prints, the holes, feed, the next page prints and then its holes feed, then the next sheet is fed to the printer. I was able to do this so much more easily using an old Print Shop product, but that program will not run under Windows XP. |

half sheet planner pages
Have you tried adding a gutter?

It may facilitate a detailed reply if you inquiry indicates what version of Word you are using. IF you are printing on ONLY one side of the blank pages this would just be a matter of printing two columns on the page and adjusting the gutter (blank area down the center) to avoid the areas where the holes are. Set the page margin to keep text away from the holes adjacent to the edge of the sheet. Printing both sides might be a bit more complicated. With earlier versions of Word you would have to print alternate pages (1,3,5, etc) for the document, return those pages to the supply tray and then print the remaining alternate pages (2,4,6,etc). You may need to flip the sheets over, rotate the pages end for end or change the print order (8,6,4, etc). Look for these settings in the print dialog that appears when you print FROM THE FILE MENU. The flip, rotate or page order requirements depend on how your printer deposits pages in the output tray (face up or down, top or bottom of landscape mode pages on right or left). You would also need to use mirror margins since the holes would be on the opposite side on the back (page, holes, page, holes THEN next sheet). Since you're using the page margin to keep text clear of the holes adjacent to the edge, the mirror margins would automatically shift the center gutter to match the inner hole position. |

I was able to do this so much more easily using an old Print Shop product, but that program will not run under Windows XP. Added information: A booklet feature would put the "inside" margin towards the center of the sheet and "outside" margin adjacent to the ends. That may not be appropriate if the blank "two page" sheets have one set of holes near the end and the remaining set of holes adjacent to the center separation line. Life would be a LOT simpler if both sets of holes were adjacent to the separation line, since you would be able to use the booklet feature. With a bit of additional thought if you want to print two sided: Two column pages might not place the appropriate pages back to back (page 4 on the back of page 1 etc). You may need print half the odd number of pages on the left side of the paper in one pass, print half the even numbered pages on the other side of the sheet in a second pass, swap the inside AND outside margins width settings, and print the remaining odd and even pages in separate third and fourth passes through the printer. |
