Greg, I did make the layout in A5,
I have played about with it a long time.

Now my cloud don't seem to work, I would have liked to send a sample. Is there any other way I can do that?
And if so, what format. PDF is the one i had attempted to send 3 pages but that was to big for the list. I then attempted a png format at 200dpi. Still too big.  

Is there any member of this list that would except the the PDF to make it available to others???? 

Wena D. Parry

I would concur with a.l.e's suggestion that you should generate your
book in A5 format rather than converting.

Separate from the actual book creation, you should be able to make some
sample pages with typical text, then play around with fonts and font
sizes, printing them out as you decide. Remember you can make fractional
font sizes, like 8.6 or 9.3 points. You may also find that you need a
slightly larger size of one language or the other, depending on
legibility. Playing a bit with linespacing may be needed.
