Printing only page 1 prints page 3. I page numbered the document and page 1
is really the third actual page of the document. It is not recognizing the
actual page 1 which is the booklet cover. It also appears that the first two
pages are considered only one and the only potential reason I can see is
there is a section page set-up difference. The cover is vertically centered
and the remaining pages are aligned to the top vertically. This is baffling.

Turns out 2 pages per sheet wouldn't print properly either. Typing in 20,1,
etc. simply printed the who document in normal page order. I'll try a few
more things beofre I do the macro. I'm trying to figure out what assumptions
the program is making in hopes that I can come up with a solution that always
works without work arounds.

When all else fails, I just drop back to the manual method described in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...etPrinting.htm. Alternatively, for
a booklet this short, you might want to change the setting from "Book fold"
to "2 pages per sheet." This will give you the identical layout options
(your layout and pagination should not change), but you'll have to take care
of the page order yourself: that is, when you go to print, you'll have to
enter the page numbers to be printed as 20, 1, 2, 19, 18, 3, etc. There's
also a macro available from the Web page referenced above that handles this
automatically. I have not used this macro and can't vouch for it, however.

I am in the process of creating a book fold pamphlet (actually a wedding
program). I had it printing properly when it was 16 pages but I made some
addtitions and as soon as I got to 20 pages, it no longer prints properly.
I
have tried everything I can think of and have read all the posts. Is it
possible there is some formatting within the document that's messing it up
(like a section break or page break)? I have tried different page
configurrations (like all, auto, 16 and 20) and none print right. I have
tried manual and auto duplex print modes. No luck. The print out is wrong
from the first sheet as page 1 prints on the left instead of the right
side
of the sheet so I know right away that it's messed up. It's rare that I
get
hung up this badly but I just can't figure out why this won't work
properly.
