I habe been publishing a newsletter and have been laying it up as a 14"x8.5" with back cover on the left and front cover on the right, so on and so on. How do a convert it to a book form so I can publish it as a e-book or pdf format. I want it set up as 8.5x7 so if people want to print it they can and it will come out formatted in the correct order. CAN ANYBODY HELP?
the easiest way to do this is to simply layout your newsletter 8.5 x 7.page size...1 up (ie 1 page per page)
.then use corels Imposition tool...
under print...
preview
then choose imposition...its the second icon down on the left..(the display will change to a grey box with an arrow and a big number 1....
then where it says " as in document (full page)" right above the option you just clicked\
click on the drop down menu
choose booklet
and it will do the imposition for you
2 trhings to remember...make sure your page size is set to 8.5 x 14 landscape..and make sure it has print complete document selected... then what i usually do is use a program like pdf creator and print this directly to pdf, all laid out and ready to go.....
let Corel do the imposition for you...no need to lay it out yourself
This is much easier for you as well..in case youd like to change the page order down the rpoad...no more having to re lay everything out in a different order.. and the original file stays in its correct order....
If this is at all confusing, dont hesitate to ask:)

Thanks, I'll try that and let you know if ti works.
first, setup your docuemnt at the real size. For example, if you want an A4 magazine, the page size must be A4
double click on the page's border. Choose a double-size page. For example, if you are using an A4 vertical, you must choose an A3 horizontal (2 A4)
Go to "design", and choose "booklet" and "opposite faces". Ready. Press OK
Adjust your design as you want, number of pages, and all your design. When you finished, go to the Print Preview.,, Magic! all what Paul Warren said is automatically ready.
Cool..Thanks Ariel...a faster way is always better....
My version is X5. I don't see any 'design' in the pull down menus. Where is it please?
