Word can often detect whether words are used inappropriately and it underlines the word with a wavy blue line.

Problem There are several issues involved in making booklets that are created by folding standard letter paper in half. One: imposition.

The pages need to be re-ordered so that folding in half produces the right order. This is called imposition, and a number of OS X have been developed specifically to take care of this (listed below). 8 pages in booklet order 8 1 2 7 6 3 4 5 8 page document printed 2-up 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Two: zoom. When you print two pages per sheet (also called 2-up) on a letter-size piece of paper, the text obviously needs to be shrunk. However, the proportions are different. So if you design two 8.5x11 pages, and print them 2-up, the half-piece is proportionally taller than the full-size piece, meaning you get extra blank margin at the top and bottom of the half-piece.

To solve this issue, I used a custom page size of 5.5x8.5, instead of simply shrinking an 8.5x11 document. Three: creep. Create new folder for email outlook mac 2016. If you are printing a very thick booklet, and folding it in half, you also need to worry about creep—the outside pages need a bigger gutter in the middle because they are being folded so thickly. I didn’t worry about this. Now, my friends previously used PrintChef in OS 9, which would reorder the pages and also stretch the text to fill out that extra top/bottom margin. Unfortunately PrintChef has not been ported to OS X, and at this point, it seems unlikely that it ever will be.
