If you're combining Word's "book fold" feature with your printer's booklet
feature, I'm not surprised the results are unpredictable.

Hello everyone!
First, a general thank you for all of the suggestions in this forum.
Second, help!
I am making a pocket sized booklet with 40 pages of information. The final
booklet will be 4.25 x 5.5 inches.
I have laid out my 40 page document using the following settings in the
PAGE
SETUP MENU:
- landscape orientation
- book fold
- 40 sheets per booklet
In the PAGE SETUP "OPTIONS" DIALOG BOX I choose "front of sheet" in the
OPTIONS FOR DUPLEX PRINTING area.
My computer is networked to our office copier. When I send the file to
print
I go to the printer properties dialog box and I choose:
- N-up: OFF
- Duplex/Booklet: Booklet Left Binding
Five pages come out of the copier. When I fold these pages they are
numbered
incorrectly. The backside of page 1 is page 22. The backside of page 1
should
be page 2.
The first sheet that comes off the copier has a page structure that looks
like this:
top left: page 20
top right: page 21
bottom left: page 40
bottom right: page 1
Depending on the way the pages are set the backside of the sheet is upside
down. But never the right kind of upside down.
Since I'm using Word 2003 I figure I should be able to use these booklet
features. I visited the "Booklet Printing" on the MVP page. But it seems
to
be for Word 2002.
I assume that I am folding these sheets incorrectly. But I know it must be
more than that. When I play with the setting the placement of the pages
changes. I know I just need to find the right setting. Can you please tell
me
if I'm on the right track? If so, please lead me further!
Thank you in advance,
Laura Glazer
