RE: changing an FM book

["Ridder, Fred" <Fred.Ridder@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This has been discussed A LOT on the FrameUsers list. I suggest you
visit the list archive at http://www.frameusers.com and search for
"imposing", which is the printing term for the process of matching
the proper pages in a "signature" to print on the same sheet. The bottom
line is that this is something that is best left to the specialized software
that your print vendor should have (assuming that they are really 
knowledgeable, which is not a given in these days of a Docutech on 
every street corner...)

My opinions only; I don't speak for Dialogic or Intel...

Subject: changing an FM book 


Hello Framers
I have to change my 8.5X7 double-sided FM book to a two-up layout to make
the printer happy, unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be covered in my
FrameMaker for Dummies. The pages need to be formatted like a book, so pg2
and pg139 on the front of the first sheet, pg 1 and pg140 on the back; pg4
and pg 137 on the front of the second sheet, pg3 and pg138 on the back of
the second sheet, etc...

Is there some easy, automatic way of doing this in FrameMaker? 

Not looking forward to cutting and pasting without Ctrl-C Ctrl-V,
Mandy
