Default !Gray Margin - Border markers

If you want to do it in Word, you might see the "manual" method described at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...etPrinting.htm. Provided you have
a printer that will manual duplex reliably (mine currently has a tendency to
grab several sheets at once from the manual-feed tray), this can be the
easiest solution, which provides you the most control.

Alternatively, if the book is short, you can avoid "Book fold" by using "2
pages per sheet" instead (the one in Page Setup, not the one in the Print
dialog, which reduces the pages), then use the "Pages" command in the Print
dialog to print the appropriate page pairs in sequence.

Thank you. My Web research also seemed to point to a "no solution." So,
I've spent the last few hours reworking the document into Publisher. It

was
rather tedious, because I am developing a booklet that includes 2 pages of
award winners by year. Each page has 5 columns, the middle one being the
spacer, the other two are for year and name, so there are two columns of
winners on each page, and one of the pages has 40 rows of names.

Publisher
won't create that many rows. Argh. So, I managed to reduced the size of
everything in Word, and then I pasted special as a Microsoft object. It
works, but WOW, it will be a pain to update each year. Thank you for
answering.

I am having a similar problem. In addition to the page border I

selected,
I
am getting a gray border around all the pages when I try to print a

booklet.
I have read the article and taken both actions. The problem persists.
Actually, the left gray border on page 1 is the right border on page

2;
they
make a "fold here" line. It is the same for pages 2 and 3. The other
borders connect to that line.

Default !Gray Margin - Border markers

I had just set up a 4 page Word document and then printed it with my HP Laser
5 with duplex capability, opting for "booklet" in the how many pages on a
sheet choice. It's how I got the unwanted page border. It didn't work. I
do almost everything in Word, so this is a shame. I'll look at the article
to see if there is anything I might have missed. Thank you.

If you selected the "booklet" option in your printer Properties rather than
the "Book fold" option in Word, then this might be a different issue.

I tried that later. It resulted in the same problem.
