... How do you fold a landscape paper such as the one shown in the picture so that it has exactly 3 equal folds: Front, Back Inside https://postimg.cc/Yv0xP1Hx Measure the 1/3 and 2/3 points width, top and bottom, and fold along those lines. Although it is probably a good idea to make the centre third of the page very slightly wider than the left and right thirds so that when the page is folded, the folded-in parts fit comfortably within the centre section. Maybe make the left and right folds 1-2mm (1/16") smaller than the centre one. Maybe measure a commercially produced leaflet of this type to see what sizes they have used. |

In Microsoft Publisher, you can create three boxes of size: 3.58in x 7.77in. Then create custom margins of: L: 0.3in R: 0.3in T: 0.25in B: 0.25in Gutter: 0.25in You then need to distribute the three boxes vertically and horizontally. You then draw a straight vertical line in the middle of the two gutters (at 0.125in) so that you have a folding guide. This is mathematics using the standard A4 size paper of: 8.27in x 11.69in or 210 × 297 millimetres. You can use metric system (e.g: mm or cm) as your units so that you can get it almost exact distribution of the boxes because of very small measurement sizes. Adobe Indesign can also do this but most people with Microsoft Office Professional Plus will have Microsoft Publisher on their machine which they may not even know about it because of their low intelligence. Microsoft Office 365 Home is available as subscription for £79.99 (or US $99.99) ad most people doing some serious computing work should have a copy on their machine. Microsoft Office: http://tinyurl.com/y254zzek *https://preview.tinyurl.com/y254zzek* Adobe Indesign: http://tinyurl.com/yxcyummq *https://preview.tinyurl.com/yxcyummq* -- With over 950 million devices now running Windows 10, customer satisfaction is higher than any previous version of windows. |

The fact of the matter is in the 21st century it is all about pdf, epub & other forms of non-paper documents. People are paranoid about environment so they are using ebooks and all that these days; Therefore, your friends advice should be taken with a pinch of salt. You must have seen on these newsgroups that all those old farts with experience of dos, and old windows are advising people to install all sorts of gadgets to turn their Windows 10 system into some zombie and unusable. Now who in their right-mind will listen to these nutters. Mind you they must have been good at DOS and Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 but we don't use them for any business purposes. -- With over 950 million devices now running Windows 10, customer satisfaction is higher than any previous version of windows. |

Anyone can tri-fold but exactness requires a measuring device. worrying about fractions of a millimeter is ridiculous. Tons of junk mail is so folded. They have hundreds of little old ladies folding A4 sheets and stuffing envelopes therewith. Even a blind person can do it. I take it you are joking. Have you never seen a paper-folding machine: it's quite mesmerising to watch. Folding a sheet (eg A4) in *half* is easy: you align the edges and by definition you will be folding it exactly along the half-way line so each half is A5. Then you can fold that in half again and end up with quarters where each part is A6... and so on. (*) But folding it exactly in thirds is more difficult by eye. I'm not sure how you would do it. But it's easy if you measure it. I'm one of those "terrible" people who never do *anything* by estimating if I can do it by accurate measurement. My grandpa would turn in his grave: he could estimate the half-way or one-third-way point of something by eye, using a skill that I cannot even begin to comprehend: evidently something that modern man has lost. My wife's the same. The other day she cut a square cake into square (**) quarters by eye and was accurate to about 1 mm over a distance of about 200 mm. She can also also remember the size or weight of two very similar objects if she holds one and then the other (ie not both at the same time to compare) and can reliably say which is the larger/heavier. Definitely a skill that you either have or don't have. (*) That's one of the great advantages that A4 (etc) has over US letter: because the aspect ratio of A4 is exactly 1 : sqrt(2) - for example 210x297 mm - if you fold the paper exactly in half, you end up with pages which are smaller but still have exactly the same aspect ratio... and so on for successive halvings. (**) I specified square because making diagonal corner-to-corner cuts, producing triangles, is trivially easy. |
