Is it just me, or is the new DCB recipe brochure set up incorrectly to be able to create a brochure? I want to print it for a show I have tomorrow, but it doesn't appear to be set up so you open as you would a normal brochure.

Shouldn't the cover be on the right side of the page?

There is something wrong with it. I had to cut it down to size so it would fold and look right.
 
Can you just fold it accordian-style? I think I'm just going to print them out and hand them as a flat page because that way they can take it home and add it to their recipe books as a page. Once it gets folded, it'll get lost or crumpled, at least in my house it would. :rolleyes:
 
Use the one from here. It is so much better! It also has a lot more recipes and it does work as a brochure. I worked on it till it would fold right!

yeah, it's set up to open backwards. I make brochures for work, and I always put my first page on the right, and the way we fold them, the cover sheet is to the left of the cover.

I have the full version of Adobe, but I couldn't figure out how to flip the panels so it would print and open right. Do you know how to do that?
