   Thanks, I'm working at navigating that site to find a right page size or custom sizer.

   Thanks
   That HP site was proving impossible on dial-up - too much on each page and some of them were demo movies...Aaaragjh!But I did download one sample card they had which was a PDF. Even tho I am not using that card, it demonstrated to me how it is formatted, so I think I'm a go. I figured this out just as I was reaching for the phone, but do have a layout in front of me now. Might still call later if I get hung up.For comment - and follow up - what I did was page setup - normal size page - landscape, and divide page in the middle. Now I see two distinct halves to work on

   This might not be any better, but you might try this Microsoft link:  http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/results.aspx?qu=tri-fold&av=TPL000

   I don't have Word, but I was able to download and open one of these templates using Open Office.

   P.S. The template that I downloaded was about 800k, so the download may take quite a bit...

   Hmmm, just looked on MS, and they have templates that MIGHT be adaptable for you:

   If I can do anything... don't be bashful.PaulB

   If you go to the Word Help feature, look up "booklet". It'll walk ya through. Here's what it says:

   When you create a booklet, it's best to start with a new, blank document so that you have better control over the placement of text, graphics, and other elements. You can add a book fold to an existing document, but you may have to reposition some elements once the book fold is in place.

   1. Start a new, blank document.
   2. On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then click the Margins tab.
   3. In the Multiple pages list, select Book fold.

      If your document is not set to landscape orientation, Microsoft Word sets it to landscape.

   4. In the Inside and Outside boxes, type or select the amount of space you want for the inside and outside margins (margin: The blank space outside the printing area on a page.).

      If you need even more space along the fold to accommodate binding, type or select the amount of space you want in the Gutter box.

   5. In the Sheets per booklet list, select the number of pages you want to include in a single booklet.

      If the number of pages in the document exceeds the number of pages you select for a booklet, Word prints the document as multiple booklets.

   6. Select any other options you want in the Page Setup dialog box.
   7. Add text, graphics, headers or footers (header and footer: A header, which can consist of text or graphics, appears at the top of every page in a section. A footer appears at the bottom of every page. Headers and footers often contain page numbers, chapter titles, dates, and author names.), and other elements to your document as usual.

   Hope that helps. My condolences.

   Thanks Mike and all, again.Who'da thunk 'booklet'?!!!
   I like it.I managed to get the outside cover done the other way and it is printing a hundred copies while I put finishing touches on the inside two pages. I had to come back over here to rest a minute from the stress, and there's the answer. Maybe I should have taken a shower first while the brain trust ground out the answer. It would have been a bit easier.

   I'll probably post about that after an appropriate time.Some members of the family found out rather rudely when a ding-a-ling niece posted the event on her facebook page at 5:30AM the next morning, only 6-7 hours after he had passed and before necessary phone calls could be made.Imagine checking your favorite sites over morning coffee and finding out this sort of thing
