Computers: Feedback: Quick way to print a book
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It is almost impossible nowadays to print badly from a Windows program onto A4 paper. But printing A5 booklets, or filofax sheets, or calendars, can be a nightmare. Most word processors will print on various sizes of paper, but not in the fancy sideways orientation you need to produce a booklet such as a service sheet, where pages one and four must be on one side of the paper and pages two and three on the other.
Quickbook is a Windows program which takes output from your normal word processor and reformats it to fit booklets, filofax pages, and any number of other special formats. It is not perfect: it will not handle Portex organiser paper, for example. But 90 per cent of the time it is simple and useful. It costs dollars 49.95 and dollars 13.95 shipping ( pounds 42.50); and must be ordered from the US on 010 716-871-7869 or 010 716-873-0906 (fax).
