Publisher - White borders when creating page from master

[Kolle]

Hello guys,

I'm relatively new to Publisher and have a problem when working with borderless master pages.

When I create the master page it looks exactly how I want, but when I create a page from it, I have white borders on the page (see attachments).
My guess is, it has something to do with print borders or something, but can not figure it out...
Also the rulers change back to the standard setup...

Has somebody an idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

Your master pages have a dimension of 246 x 126 mm, whereas the document pages (Page 1 and 2) have a dimension of 248 x 126 mm.

So you have to change master or document pages to the size you really want. Anyway I would recommend, that you extend the black area to fill the bleed. Can avoid errors when it comes to professional printing. HTH

Hi Joachim,

thanks for your reply. The bleed is already in the document, so I disabled the bleed from AP. The printing company requested files with gross measurements (incl. 3mm bleed)...

However I haven't found a way to setup different sizes for Master/Pages...
If I create a new page from a master, shouldn't it have the exact same properties?

Sorry, I'm a little confused...

Normally yes. Perhaps a wrong click somewhere ... To repair this, go to page 1, pick "Layoutseite einrichten" and change the width for all spreads (Layoutseiten).

Added: Your background black goes through all 4 colours, which is IMO wrong. And why is your Colour Profile in Document Setup a Generic CMYK Profile? Is this also requested by the printing company?

Ok, I found it and it works now! Thanks a lot for your help!
