It's a lot easier to print single-sided or duplex manually. Word *ought* to
get it right, but, depending on how your duplexer works, and given the
inherent flaws of the "Book fold" feature, I'm not surprised that it so
often doesn't. It may be that something as simple as changing the print
order to print the pages in reverse order would make it work, though.

Ok..I'm getting closer. I now understand that you can't just pull this
out
of the printer, fold and go. You have to turn 2/7 over so that 1 is
first,
then turn to page 2, etc.
However...this doesn't appear to work for duplexing. I've got 23/1 and
22/2, but these all have writing on the other side of each sheet...so I
can't
pull 3 because it's on the back of another 15/10. So I guess you print
single side, fold over, and copy.

That's by design. Say you have an eight-page booklet. Word will print the
pages as follows:
8 and 1
2 and 7
6 and 3
4 and 5
It may print 8/1 and 6/3 first and wait for you to turn the paper over
and
print the other side (manual duplex), or (if you have an automatic
duplexer)
it may print all the recto and verso pages automatically without help
from
you.
When you stack up all the pages together correctly and fold them in the
center, they will be in the correct order for a booklet.

I've inputted 70 names into the booklet format of Word for a directory,
but
when I print, it doesn't line up correctly. The "B"s start the list,
then
it
prints and "S" page. And so on...I've tried duplexing and have the same
unusual occurence of miscellaneous pages in no particular order. Not
sure
where to go from here...
