Hi Charles, Take all the measures of your cover. Create a new document to that size. You might eventually want to add bleed so you can make your document larger by 1 inch more, and put your crop marks manually, which will allow you to add the bleed. Using the Page > Guide Manager create the guides for the spine and off you go. Within 5 minutes you'll be in front of your blank cover. For the spine you'll probably want to rotate your elements to 90 degrees. HTH Louis Thanks for your help, > Charles Brooks > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
