Booklet printing in Word 2007
Tearing my hair out and wasting LOTS of paper and toner in trying to print a
booklet. I do NOT have a duplex printer, but I cannot seem to get the settings right for this - the pages either don't print next to each other properly, or are upside down, or in the wrong order. Can anyone point me to a GOOD tutorial where I can see what I am not doing? |

Word is crap at booklet printing. Instead, save your document to PDF using
Word 2007's built-in converter. Then open the document in Adobe Reader v9 and use its booklet feature. It is impressively good! It is the one saving grace in installing a PDF reader that is such a hog. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Gordon" wrote in message ...

I have seven pages of text and Acrobat will NOT print the blank page as page 8 at the end of the document. In other words instead of printing page 1 and page 8 (the blank page) on the first sheet, it prints page 1 and page 7, but it prints a blank page in front of page 2 so that page 2 is NOT on the reverse side of the paper to page 1. |

I've never had any problem printing a booklet with an odd number of pages in
Acrobat Reader. Have you insert a break next odd page at the end of the first page? Terry "Gordon" wrote in message ... "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... Word is crap at booklet printing.

No. (I have to say it's not my document - it was originally created in Publisher and has been converted to Word for insertion in another document, although it's a document in it's own right) If I insert a break -next odd page at the bottom of page 1, when it gets saved as pdf there's a blank page as page 2.....so that doesn't work either. |

In fact, I just retested this. I took a 5 page (A4) document and saved it as
PDF. I opened it in Acrobat Reader, selected Print and in the option dialog chose Booklet Printing under Scaling, Both Sides under Booklet Subset, set my printer driver to Duplex (Both Sides) and pressed OK. It printed a perfect A5 booklet using Pages 1-5 with pages 6-8 entirely blank as expected. Terry "Gordon" wrote in message ... "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... Word is crap at booklet printing.

It doesn't matter what I do, the print preview in Acrobat shows the WRONG printing - the blank page is inserted in front of page 2, NOT next to page 1, which is where it should be. If I choose Odd pages, (I don't have a duplex printer), it shows page 1 and page 7, NOT page 1 and the blank page. |

I agree that's wrong, but I'm not sure why. Have you tried it with a
different document? Terry "Gordon" wrote in message ... "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... In fact, I just retested this. I took a 5 page (A4) document and saved it as PDF.
