Some of these, marked with a (P), are pamphlets. These can be printed by
the readers themselves. They are set up in MS Word 1997-2003 format for
printing in booklet form ("bookfold"), with
no layout necessary, on 8 1/2" x 11" letter-size paper in landscape
orientation, although they will appear on the screen as single-sided 5
1/2" x 8 1/2" pages (even in print preview). All the reader has to do
is print the pamphlet, either using a two-sided printer or photocopied back to
back. The covers are set up to print separately on one side in landscape
orientation (preferably on a light color paper, such as beige, on 32 lb stock,
better than card stock). The pamphlet should then be stapled in the middle
(easiest with a saddle stapler available for use at many photocopy stores, or
with a long-handled stapler). These pamphlets can also be ordered from Red
Star.
