Printing single pages in Quark as spread?

[kitikatu]

Hi there.

I have a brochure that I'm have to get re-printed. The brochure is a three panels, with a barrel fold. Each panel is 8'x8'.

The problem is that the doc is set up with three single pages (side-by-side) for the front and the back, and I can only get it to print as 6 single pages.

Is there anyway to coax Quark to print three side-by-side pages as a spread?

Print spreads check box in the the print menu... or

Change your document size to the same dementions as the three panels togather, put all three panels on the one page, and then just print the one page.

I thought checking Print Spreads would do it - but because there are three single pages (not facing pages) it doesn't do it.

Maybe I could do a quick and dirty re-build of the doc as you suggest, with the dimensions set to the full width of the three panels. I just want to get a proof to the printer that shows the whole document with the folds and such.

For future reference, is there a way to create a document with a three page spread? I'm currently working in Quark 4 - but is that possible even in a later version?

and thank you for your help!

not sure about the 3page spread deal.

If i were you I would just select everyting on all three panels and group them then change the dementions of the doc to match the true final size. that should put everything in the all three panels on the first page of your doc. then just delete the blank pages...

I always set up my docs to be the page or paper size not the panel size.. makes it a lot eaiser for proofing.
