If Xara templates are not filling what you need, take a look at https://www.template.net/ they offer several different types that you maybe able to modify.

Another option is to look at Xara Cloud, they have a lot of templates that you maybe able to use for a fairly reasonable price.

Are you after an imposition of 32 pages onto 8 sheets of A4 paper? Each page being A5 Landscape?
Are the sheets to be folded and then nested or grouped into a number of nests and folded or just stacked?

There is no such template.

Try tackling 4 pages onto one sheet.
The inner pages 2 & 3 would open up be easily read.
For page 1 to be read, you fold the sheet and now page 1 is printed upside down relative to page 2, as is page 4 to page 3.

So my understanding would be a printing order of 4-1 & 2-3 as most printers can be told to flip for the second side.
The next output would be 8-5 & 6-7.

I am sure there are better approaches so a TGer may be correcting this quite soon.

Wouldn't you be printing page 1 & 32 and 2 & 31 together on the same page?

So what if you then go to 34 pages?
I was suggesting that a grouping of sets of four, folded and then stacked gives far less brain ache.

Egg It's a long time since we spoke. Thanks for the reply. I have turned to Xara because I love the way pages are constructed especially images with repel text facility. However Publisher makes life so much easier that I'm afraid I think I will go back to that app. Shame, but I have been looking all day for a solution.
