First I built a letter-on-tabloid booklet like this: \definepapersize[tabloid][width=11in,height=17in] \setuppapersize[letter][tabloid] \setuparranging[2UP,rotated,doublesided] \setuplayout[width=7in,location=doublesided,backspace=0.73in, topspace=.0in,height=10.3in] This worked pretty well. For the next iteration I wanted to reduce the size by one half, in other words a half letter sheet on a letter sheet. I came up with this: \definepapersize[halff][width 5.5in,height=8.5in] \definepapersize[ful][width 8.5in,height=11in] \setuppapersize[halff][ful] \setuparranging[2UP,rotated,doublesided] Now no amount of fiddling with \setuplayout parameters seems to place the logical pages correctly on the paper. If I use no such parameters whatever the entire physical page image seem to slide toward the bottom of the piece of paper. As a result the bottom logical page slides halfway off the page. Can anyone spot an obvious goof?

Hi John, Coud it be that you simply forgot the "=" after width? Willi John R. Culleton wrote:

Of course. It was staring at me and I didn't see it. I missed two of them in fact.
Thanks Willi.
Ah I spoke too soon. The layout is OK but the TOC disapears when I use the \setuparranging. It works otherwise. I get a message on sysout: ------------------------------------- output file : apr06.tuo remark : no output file generated ------------------------------------- The apr06.tui file has the TOC entries, e.g., ------------------------------------- c \listentry{section}{1}{}{2006 Events Calendar}{2::0:0:1:0:0:0:0::25}{25} c \listentry{section}{2}{}{2007 Events Calendar}{2::0:0:2:0:0:0:0::25}{25} c \listentry{section}{3}{}{2006 Officers, Directors and Board Members} {2::0:0:3:0:0:0:0::25}{25} c \listentry{section}{4}{}{Contact Information}{2::0:0:4:0:0:0:0::25}{25} c \listentry{section}{5}{}{Board Meeting Minutes February 20, 2006} {2::0:0:5:0:0:0:0::25}{25} c \listentry{section}{6}{}{Brags}{2::0:0:6:0:0:0:0::25}{25} -------------------------------------- The log file says in part: --------------------------------------- ./content.tex system : part,chapter,section not found/processed ----------------------------------------- content.tex is a called subfile containing just: ------------------------------------------- \startcolumns[n=2] \placecontent[level=section, alternative=c] \stopcolumns ------------------------------------------- I use a mode to create the booklet.

use texexec --arrange which will do a normal run followed by an arrange one (alternatively, use --once when you arrange) Hans -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
