I have a booklet in A5 page size.
I need to convert it into an A4 sized booklet, keeping the same page
numbering and the same text on each page but with double the font size -
i.e. a Large print copy of the booklet.
Is there an easy way of doing this?
 
Hi Gordon,

Change to A4, then increase the margins, font size, fixed line heights & table dimensions by as near as you can get to 41.4% to
compensate.
 
If you want a true booklet, then use SaveAs and choose PDF format. Open the
PDF in Acrobat Reader v9 (though v8 and above should be OK) and choose the
Booklet printing option in the Print dialog. This works really well and is
far better than Word's feeble attempts at booklet printing.

We actually use a commercial printer, as we needed 250 copies, bound.

Solved! Dead easy! All I need to do is to choose "Scale to paper Size" and
choose A4 in the printing dialog........
 
I am so glad you posted this. I was very, very stuck, and looking at hours of changing all titles, text, etc, by hand on a 32-page booklet to scale to A4. Saved to PDF and pressed print and it worked! Thanks!
