If it's a booklet-fold, format it in Word 12 pt as a normal doc with 0.5" margins and no gutter, then shift to PDF. Just print as booklet with 0.5" gutter. The text will end up smaller than 12 pt but it will still be readable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-19619496551900520552011-03-02T05:47:58.934-08:002011-03-02T05:47:58.934-08:00Being a bit older, things under 10 pt give me trou...Being a bit older, things under 10 pt give me trouble. The technical Journals I write for insist on 10 pt, although sometimes they use 8 pt for figure captions, and 6 point for subscripts.
