I've always maintained that the "Book fold" feature was not ready for prime
time. I've occasionally gotten it to work for short documents, but for long
ones (where I'll inevitably need to reprint one or more pages), I stick with
the method described at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...etPrinting.htm. This might be a
bit complex if you're trying to duplex (especially automatically), but in my
case I'm always creating single-sided pages to be duplexed in
copying/printing.

I've read the book fold posts here but nothing has helped yet.
I run an IT Dept for goodness sakes, but I just cannot seem to make this
work. I'm about to go out of my mind and hope someone can help.
I have an 8 page document in Word 2003 that I'm trying to print as a
folded
booklet. 4 pages to each single sheet of 8.5x11 paper. Printing in manual
duplex mode.
My pages are coming out in a crazy order and somtimes vaious pages just
don't print out at all. I'm consistently getting three sheets of paper
being
printed on, even though with 8 pages, it should only be two. And I do
actually have 8 pages in my document, no more, no less.
As far as I can tell, I'm doing exactly what the Word Help instructions
are
telling me to do. But what's being printed out makes no sense. For
instance
(besides some pages never printing) my page 1 is always printed on the
left-hand side of a sheet of paper. Shouldn't it be on the right, as the
'cover' to the booklet?
This has to be something silly I'm missing, but I sure can't see it.
Any help?
