Save the file in normal order as a postscript file. Then use PSUtils programs to set up the book for printing as a booklet. Here is my script for imposing 8.5 x 11 on 11 x17 in booklet form. The script is called as scripta foo for a file named foo.ps -------------------------------------- psbook $1.ps $1b.ps echo 'psnup' psnup -2 -ptabloid -Pletter $1b.ps $1p.ps echo 'psselect' psselect -o $1p.ps $1o.ps psselect -e -r $1p.ps $1e.ps #lpr $1o.ps #echo 'switch paper' #read x #lpr $1e.ps #rm $1p.ps $1e.ps $1o.ps $1b.ps --------------------------------------------------------- This is set up for Linux and my particular laser printer.
