Yes it is possible, by using sections. If you Right Click on a page in the Pages panel, you can start a new section. Good luck with your work Pman Once you have made a new section you can then Right Click on the page in your section that you want to be the cover page and this time select Spread properties. In the dialogue box that opens you can select Custom size and then enter the size that your book cover needs to be. When you've done that you will now have different size pages. You will then need to make sure all of your book pages are in a new section that starts after your cover. Good luck with your work Pman Edited September 30, 2018 by PMan Noticed images inserted in incorrect order Chul, GaseousClay and stephen 488 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen 488 Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 Thanks Pman, Much appreciated and a great help. Is it possible to add different sized pages in order as my picture below of a wrap around book cover. I know you can add up the different sizes and make one complete rectangle but I'd like to maintain each page, flaps and spine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't really need sections in order to have pages (spreads) of different sizes. I suppose it might help for organization purposes, though.

Nor can you have more than 2 pages in a spread. At this point you will need to use separate pages, or you will need to use one page with a set of rectangles on it as you showed. stephen 488 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

stephen 488 Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 Thanks for the reply Walt, yes using a set of rectangles would be a good way to do this. The world of printing and publishing has lots of variations like the cover jacket and packaging as you are no doubt aware. I guess I hoped that publisher would allow you to add pages of various sizes and orientation, not just bookwork.

RaSu Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 One option is to make the book cover in Aff Designer - you can have different sizes of artboards and then is possible open this document in Publisher, but you can't convert artboards to spread. stephen 488 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tersmuse Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I've just noticed that no different page sizes are possible. It is not only needed for books. More often it is used for folders (Tri-Fold), the last (first) page is always smaller, eg 100 / 100 / 97 mm (EU). Work on it, Serif!
