Hello Michael,

If I understand you (and Rick's earlier post) correctly, or if I translate the idea to what my customer would require, I would have to use the following procedure:

1. Make all files single-sided on A3 size landscape, with the usual header and footer artwork on the left and right pages as if they were two A4 portrait pages. Then create a side-head area that spans the entire left page.

2. Simply write my text in the text flow to the right and place images in the side-head aligned to the left.

3. Post-process the A3-sized landscape pages into A4-sized portrait pages by cutting each page in two.

4. Fiddling around with the page numbers so that they count twice as fast as the original.

5. Making sure the cross-references are corrected because of the changed pagenumbers.

I am not sure how to automatically do step 3 and 4. Any ideas ?

Ciao

Jang
