Actually, if I understand you correctly, there are tools especially for handling the things you mention, independent of the word processor or other program used to create the document. These are tools which take any DSC-compliant postscript as input, and enable you to manipulate the pages as required to produce a book. The tools you are looking for are psnup, psbook, psselect and so on. One of the tools I have appears to be by Angus J. C. Duggan. You should be able to find them on the web, as they are freely available. For instance, the command I use to print an A5 pamphlet printed on A4 (from a file book.ps, containing a series of A4 pages) is: cat book.ps |psbook |psnup -pa4 -s1 -2 |lpr -Plp2-a4dt -- Mario Becroft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://gem.win.co.nz/mb/ ----------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
