A5 booklet

[pussyfoot]

I want to turn a multiple page document into an A5 booklet. Is there such a program out there to do this that is reasonably cheap as it will probably be a one off.

Thanks

Thanks wildwood, I don't think we're talking about quite the same thing yet! I'm trying to find out how to start from an already typed-up A4 portrait page, and get Word to SHRINK it down to the A5 size of one column of an A4 landscape page divided into two columns. Yes, sure, if I start in the two-column landscape page, I can type everything up afresh, but I would have to use font sizes and paragraph spaces all scaled down to 70% of what they were in the original document. So it's the automated scaling-down that I'm trying to latch onto - copy and paste doesn't alter the font sizes etc.

Assuming MS Word document is A4 portrait.

Open File | Page Setup
Select the Margins tab if not open
Change Orientation to landscape - ensure this applies to Whole Document
OK that

Select whole document CTRL + A
Open Format menu and select columns
Select 2 columns and adjust margins etc as required.
This gets the layout sorted, you have to figure out printing for yourself.

Ok wildwood, I followed your steps but the font sizes stayed the same, so each portrait page of text occupied shorter lines and filled BOTH columns of the landscape page. Like I say, we're not talking about the same thing, getting the whole of a portrait page into HALF of a two-column landscape page.
