Sermon Editor: PRINTING Handouts and Questions

I'm going to make some assumptions that may be off. Correct me gently please.

I assume that most people would like to put handouts and question sheets in with their bulletins.
I assume that most people use the only bulletin format I have ever seen: essentially a single 8.5x11 sheet of paper folded in half.

If my two premises are correct, than can we please have a means of automatically formatting the handouts and questions into an appropriate format for that? e.g. side by side and back to back for folding or cutting into two in such a way that they fit as an insert in what I assume is the "normal" bulletin sheet?

Interestingly enough the original handouts feature did permit at least the folded sheet format.

Curious that is a size I see only on major feast days as service programs. To me a standard church bulletin is a 17x22 sheet of paper folded in half with 8.5x11 inserts. Clearly two multiple sizes are needed.

Uh oh [:)]

I agree with you Thomas. That would seem a logical option

Curious those are sizes I only see in museums as exhibits of old world quaintness. To me standard bulletin is 210mmx297mm (A4) folded in half to make an A5 sized booklet.

Please do not make anything other than printing to A4 sheets the default. Printing software is a better vehicle for creating booklets from this output than Logos is ever likely to be.

8.5x11 is used in North America, but the whole of Europe uses "A" sizes (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 etc) where each increment is half the size of the previous number. To those of us outside North America, Letter size is as much use as a chocolate teapot. You couldn't even buy Letter size paper at Staples here the last time I checked so, as Mike says, A4 or A5 is more useful.

In my own church we don't print paper bulletins any more, so distributing these things electronically is far more important to us. Even the old ladies get their bulletins by email nowadays.

Your old ladies are more tech savy than my old ladies.

I completely agree---it needs to be more configurable. WHATEVER size one wants, it should not be locked on to a full size paper size.

What I did was take a standard 8.5 x 11, set to landscape format, and 2 columns. I then copied and pasted into the Word doc and used a paper cutter to cut the inserts. It would have been nice if it was able to just print it that way rather than jump through the copy/paste hoops.

Heh. Our church uses legal size paper (8.5 x 14) folded in thirds. So our inserts are...ummm...(doing math) 8.5 x 4.67.

So I think both 1/2 and 1/3 sizes are needed. (AKA 2-Up, 3-Up printing)
