How do I set up a program for a play?
Using 8.5x11 paper, folded in half and printed on each half of the paper. I
tried using columns, but it doesn't seem to be working. I also need to insert a picture on the front. |

How do I set up a program for a play?
If you have Word 2002 or above, you can use the "Book fold" feature. For
earlier versions, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...etPrinting.htm. But note that if this is just for the front and back of a single sheet of paper, I wouldn't bother with any kind of booklet. I do these all the time, and I *do* use columns. You have to put pages 2 and 3 on the first page and 4 and 1 on the second. Naturally, this works well only if you don't need page 1 to flow to page 2 (that is, it is really just a cover). For more on columns, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/UsingColumns.htm. The advantage of columns over other solutions (table, text boxes, etc.) is that you can put just about anything in a column that you can put in a full page (tables, tabs, wrapped graphics, etc.). I use three different kinds of layout for play/dance programs. For cast lists (where there is a single actor/dancer for each part) I use right-aligned tabs (character name on the left, actor/dancer name on the right). For small groups of dancers, I still make them right-aligned (inserting line breaks and tabs as needed to make more than one line), but for larger groups (as in dance recitals, where all the dancers for a class are listed together), I put the dance title centered on one line and the names of the dancers in a centered paragraph below (first and last name separated by a nonbreaking space and names separated by an em space so that the lines break naturally). For the production credits I usually use a centered arrangement, with a right-aligned tab stop just left of the center of the panel and a left-aligned tab stop just to the right of it (separated by about 1/4"). I then put, say, Lighting or Props on the left and the name(s) of those responsible on the right, again using line breaks and tabs as necessary to add additional lines. -- Suzanne S.
