How to get a picture to go across adjacent pages in a Word booklet
I am writing a book with about 250 pages. It is a mix of text and pictiures
(ie JPEG's) I want to have pictures going across adjacent pages in bookfolds (eg across pages 2 & 3). How can I do this in Word ? (I can do it in Publisher, but then I can not control the size of the gutter, which I need to do for bookbinding purposes). Or is there a better software prodcut than Word or Publisher which I should be using ? |

I would simply cut the picture in half and insert both halves on adjacent
pages. You can use any of the numerous freeware graphics tools to crop pictures and re-save them to JPG format. Hope that helps Al "Stuart_m" wrote: I am writing a book with about 250 pages.

How to get a picture to go across adjacent pages in a Word booklet
I would take a similar approach, but instead I would insert the entire
picture on both pages, left-aligned to the margin on one and right-aligned on the other, with the excess picture hanging off into the margins. Some adjustment may be necessary to guarantee that the picture matches in the center, but this would ensure that the printer will print as much of the picture as it is capable of so that it extends all the way into the gutter. -- Suzanne S.

How to get a picture to go across adjacent pages in a Word boo
Thanks for the sugestions - I was hoping to avoid having to do what you have
come up with, since there will be fifty or more to do. It has been sugested to me that I should try a DTP like Page Plus, so I will investigate that in case it gives a simpler solution - but it may bring in other problems !! Anyway, thanks for the advice. "Suzanne S.
