How can I add a spine in lanscape mode?
Hello!
I am making a book and I used Word. My cover is in landscape mode. Problem is, for a cover, you need a spine. Then, I would need to add one, but how do I do that, when the spine would be in the middle of both pages, where I cannot add anything? Does anyone have any idea? I cannot find anything on the internet or in the Help section of the Word tutorial. Thanks a lot! Cendrine |

You might need to print your cover in a separate document or set a page to have different margins and columns from the rest of the pages. In Word '97 I can insert a text box. After I dragged a rectangle to establish the dimensions of the text box, a little floating tool bar appeared with a button to "Change Text Direction" with an icon that resembled text that is rotated 90°. After clicking that button I could type text that was rotated 90° clockwise from the rest of the page. |

One way to set this up would be as a three-column table, with the back and
front covers in columns 1 and 3 and the spine in column 2. You can rotate the text in a table cell. As others have indicated, you could also use a text box or frame. -- Suzanne S.
