booklets

[Leah Smaller]

We also use the printer capabilites to produce booklets. We have run into 
one snag.
The original FM files were produced for printing on A4 size paper and body 
text font size is TNR 10 pt. (of course, all other font sizes - headings, 
etc. - are extrapolated from the body text).
The printer scales the content for booklet printing, so the text comes out 
pretty small. Our workaround was to modify the document using larger fonts 
(TNR 14 pt for Body pgf).

Would adjusting the printers Enlarge setting solve the problem and obviate 
modifying all the docs destined for booklet printing? Or is there some other 
way around this?

Good day to all,
