Does anyone know how to get a graphic image to span the center pages of a pamphlet in MS word XP 2002(File>Page Setup>Margins tab>Pages>bookfold)?
Thanks.
 
Insert a Text Box, under Layout set it to Square or Tight wrapping and adjust its size. Insert your graphic into the Text Box.

I tried that but I couldn't spread the text box over two pages. It just disappeard off the page it started on.

Thanks, anyway.
 
I guess I misunderstood your requirement. I understood that you were using the tri-fold template and wanted to span across the folds. I guess from your reply that you really want to span across two real pages - not across the folds!

It isn't possible to insert a picture across two pages in Word. What you will have to do is to use a graphics utility to take the picture and crop it into 2 separate pictures, then insert each half on its own page. You can use advanced layout to make sure they align exactly.

If you don't have a suitable graphics utility, download the free IrfanView from the internet.

Thanks. I'll try your suggestion. It should work.
