Hello!

Thank you for such speedy replies to my post.

I reprinted the booklet using the Word 2003 instructions included in the
link. However, those instructions are for a large booklet. I am making a 4.25
x 5.5 inch booklet.

Suzanne, I don't think I'm using my copier/printer's booklet feature. I am
doing exactly as I indicated in my original email, using the dialog boxes
available through Word 2003.

When I print following the provided instructions with the settings on
"booklet left side" I am still getting confusing results which I describe in
my previous post.

If you don't mind, could you please address some of the details I provided?
I am following the instructions that Word provides yet my results are
unsatisfactory. Is Word not capable of printing a small booklet despite its
indication that it can? The pages that should be upside down and on the back
of other pages are not doing so.

Please help!

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
