APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft Publisher 98 Standard Edition

This article was previously published under Q197865





SYMPTOMS
If you print a top-fold card, the background page items only print on the first page. If you print a side-fold card, the background page items only print on the first and last pages.



CAUSE
This problem occurs if you print while you are in Two-Page Spread view and if you have only a single background page.



WORKAROUND
Method 1: Print from Single Page view.
 * 1) On the View menu, click Two-Page Spread to remove the check mark next to it.
 * 2) Print your publication.

NOTE: This method works well as long as you don't have any objects that extend across facing pages. If you have extra-wide pictures or text frames that extend from page two onto page three, use Method 2.

Method 2: Create dual background pages.
 * 1) On the Arrange menu, click Layout Guides.
 * 2) Click the "Create Two Backgrounds With Mirrored Guides" check box to put a mark in it.
 * 3) Click OK.
 * 4) On the View menu, click Go to Background (or press Ctrl+M on your keyboard.) You should now have both a left and right background page button in the bottom left of the Publisher window.
 * 5) If you are in Single Page view, on the View menu click Two-Page Spread. Both background pages should now be visible. They have the same objects on them, but their placement is reversed.
 * 6) If you want to, drag the items on one or both background pages until they are in the same relative spot.
 * 7) On the View menu, click Go to Foreground (or press Ctrl+M on your keyboard again.)
