a 52 page book with a heavy stock cover. Any suggestions? help?? resources

Thanks for your response JoAnn. The handbook is going to be printed
in-house in our school. The printer recently purchased does collating and
binding. I am curious how to get started to handle this project. I have had
small 4 and 8 page brochers done. But this book is being placed on 11x17
paper with a heavy stock cover.
Any places to specifically look or see samples would help. Also, I don't
know if I missed it or not, but I did not really see anything on the design
end of the opening of publisher that answered my questions.

I just finished seminar handbook. It's currently in my printer's hands and
I'm waiting to see a first proof. Even if I sent it to you, it wouldn't help
you a lot. Plus I'd have to delete out a lot of the info before sending it.

Which version of Publisher are you using?

The version I am using is 11.8212.8202 SP3

Is it beneficial to try to just transfer the information from my word
document into Publisher??

Are you using a Publisher template? Open one of Publisher's newsletter
templates, setup your printer for 11 x 17, Publisher will automatically adjust
the newsletter. This is a sample you can see how a newsletter is laid out. Can
your school printer understand using different stock for the first page?
Help here
Set up and print a letter-sized booklet

When you need to use Word information, you are better off either pasting special
unformatted text or creating a text box, right-click, click change text, text
file, browse to your Word document.
