Thank for your help and suggestions.  For the next issue I will try the following:

1)  Prepare the individual pages and save one at a time in .sla format.

2)  Export /save as .pdf one page at a time.

3)  Use kpdftools to combine the 12 individual pdf pages into one .pdf file.

4)  Leave it to my commercial print shop to worry about the imposition. I am pretty sure they can do it, and it would save some futzing around on my part.

I have tried kpdftools a couple of times.  It works flawlessly.


No one has commented on the copy/paste problem.  Am I the only one who has this problem?

When I prepare the pages, quite a few text items remain unchanged from issue to issue.  Being able to cut and paste would be very helpful and save time.

Thanks
Ole
