Printing serial numbers on multipart forms 1

[CAS123]

I wish to print certificates 3 up in a 8.5X11 page format on two part paper. Each Sheet would have 3 certificates with their own serial number. That is no problem ... the problem comes when the second yellow sheet is printed ... how do I keep the same serial numbers so that, when cut, the two part form has the same serial number on the white page and the yellow page.

Solving this will enable me to add the serial numbers on pre printed sheets, saving me from having to send this work out for short runs with quick turn around times.

I have looked at several schemes, however with no success. This must have been solved already be better users than I.

I assume that you are talking about printing pre-collated, NCR type paper.

Try making your page layout 22 inches deep instead of 11 and exactly duplicating all text and fields from the first 11 inches to the second 11 inches. Use your T-squares and graphic rulers to match the placement. This way you will print two identical consecutive sheets for every record.

Philland,

Thanks for your reply ... Page layout has three certificates starting at 1000 ... so printed that sheet would have 1000, 1001,1002. So I just double the page length and the yellow copy will print 1000, 1001, 1002 in the serial number area.

Ok I'll try it.
