Default Booklet Printing from Word 2007 Document

Sounds like doing it through Reader is more flexible. You can print
any or all of the generated two-page sides.

Have you tried the "Book fold" feature that is built into Word? On the
Margins tab of Page Setup, choose "Book fold" for "Multiple pages." Word
will set up your document with two pages per sheet. You will create the
pages in ordinary numerical order, but Word will print them in the order
required for folding into a booklet.


This feature works reasonably well provided you are printing the entire
booklet. Most users report disappointing results trying to reprint specific
pages. For another approach, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...etPrinting.htm. This method will
work in any version.


You can also set this up manually using "2 pages per sheet" in the "Multiple
pages" dropdown. This will create pages in numerical order, and you can
print them in the required order by entering 8, 1, 2, 7, 6, 3, 4, 5 in the
"Pages" box in the Print dialog. There is also a macro at the
above-referenced site that automates this process.


Suzanne:

The method you described using Word 2007's "Book Fold" feature works
well. *The number of pages increases, but that was good as Word
apparently adjusted to make the printed copy quite readable.

However, how can I force Word to just print the front or back side of
the document? *The test print I ran printed every page. *I quess I
could feed the pages into my copier, but that would be a waste of
paper.

Also, in Page Setup, I was asked about Sheets per booklet. *Do I want
"Auto", "All", or one of the numerical choices.

Thanks again
