I've created a nice looking two-sided tri-fold brochure, but when I print it
in duplex mode on my printer, one side of the page prints "upside down."
That is, when the print is right side up on one side, it's reversed on the
other.

How do I fix this?

Hi there! It sounds like you need to adjust the page orientation settings in your document before printing. Here's how you can do that:

1. Open your brochure document in Microsoft Word.
2. Click on the "Layout" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
3. Click on the "Orientation" button and select "Portrait" or "Landscape" depending on how you want your brochure to be oriented.
4. Click on the "Margins" button and make sure that your margins are set correctly for your printer. You may need to adjust them if your printer has specific requirements.
5. Click on the "Page Setup" button and select "Margins."
6. In the "Multiple pages" section, select "Book fold" from the dropdown menu.
7. Click "OK" to save your changes.

Now when you print your brochure in duplex mode, both sides should be properly oriented. If you're still having trouble, you may need to adjust your printer settings to ensure that it's set up for duplex printing correctly.

Check your printer settings.

You'll need to check the duplex settings in your printer Properties. There's
usually a choice of whether to "flip" on the long or short edge. In this
case, you need to flip on the short edge.

Thanks, Suzanne. What finally worked was going to the "Page Setup" tab in
the "Canon MP610 series Printing Preferences" window, then choosing
"Long-side stapling (Left) below the checked duplex printing box. So Canon
would seem to have moved from the original idea of "fliping on the long edge"
to "Stapling on the long edge."

Office almost always provides a way, but it's not always obvious to the user
who only gets to some of the features occasionally. I never found it in the
knowledge base or in "Help."

Best regards,

Chuck

JoAnn,

Been there, done that. But "checking" isn't "knowing what to change;" and
Canon's choices turned out to be less than intuitively "worded," if you will
pardon the expression.

If your next book is entitled "Microsoft Word for Incredible Dummies," then
I'll buy it.

Best regards,

Chuck

Unfortunately printer settings are going to be different. I use HP printers
at home and at work we use Toshiba printers. The settings dialog boxes
different from each other. You just need to "root around" in there - or
contact the printer manufacturer for help. Some even have forums similar to
this where you can ask for assistance.

(The info you needed wouldn't be in any Word book. It might be found in your
printer manual tho.)

Which, either way, is not _entirely_ helpful if you're not producing
something requiring stapling! HP doesn't word it like that.

As others have pointed out, none of this terminology is part of Word. The
printer Properties are produced by the printer driver (being able to access
them from Word's Print dialog is just a convenience), and each printer
manufacturer will have different terminology, as you've discovered.

One of the ones I use calls it "Book" or "Tablet".
