Greeting Cards and Beyond
I am trying to find out whether Microsoft Office offers any convenient way,
possibly with add-ons, to print booklets in a format that would allow 8 pages (16 duplexed) to print on a single 8 1/2 x 11 sheet and the whole thing to be folded into a small booklet with all pages appearing right-side up. If you visualize a landscape page, this would require that pages 6, 7, 8, and 1 appear across the top and pages 2,3,4, and 5 appear upside down across the bottom, with page 2 beneath page 1, 2 beneath page 8, etc. If you have trouble visualizing this (as I did) go to pocketmod.com and look at the "folding instructions". My next question would be about 16-page on a sheet duplex printing, but that would require that the 8-page problem be solved first anyway. I have searched The MS Word forums and looked at add-ins such as looked at Blue Squirrel's ClickBook, which supports 4-page "greeting-card" folds or "French folds". Neither WOPR nor FinePrint seem to even support "greeting-card" folds. This is ability to move variable text smoothly into these opposing sideways orientations is one of the capabilities that I would look for in a desktop-publishing program. Does Publisher do this ? With the help of an add-in ? Is there any Microsoft product that does ? |
