have used MS Publisher for my book publishing for many years, using book publishers as well as printing them myself using a laser printer. Books I send to a publisher I just submit in .pdf form and the publisher does the rest. I have been printing short run booklets using the 1/2 letter booklet (5.5 x 8.5) format for many years. I want to do a booklet using legal size paper, which would make the pages 8.5 x 7. I can not figure out how to set that up in Microsoft Publisher.

In addition to Geoffrey's answer you might try:
File > New > Blank Page Sizes > scroll down to Booklets > Create Custom Page Size > Name: 14 X 8.5, Width: 7 inches, Height 8.5.
This way you will have a blank template for future use.

Try:
>File >Page Setup >Special Size . . . then fill up the details of your required size.
David, absolutely perfect. I do not know how I missed that section. Thanks
I tried this process but my booklet file is not giving me a create custom page size. I only see that option Standard. Do I create the booklet there?
Geoffry, Thanks. Your answer was just what I needed.
