Creating a booklet in Word 2007
Have had the same experience as other posters with the booklet function
randomizing page sequence. Once post suggested a url for hints but this page is no longer valid. Can someone suggest a definitive site for finding out how to work this dilemma? I am (of course) under a pretty tight deadline to have a camera ready to the printer. -- George |

Creating a booklet in Word 2007
Depends what you mean by randomizing. Obviously, when you print as a
booklet, the pages are not in numerical order but the order that will result in a correctly ordered booklet when you duplex the pages and fold them into a booklet. -- Suzanne S.

Creating a booklet in Word 2007
Sorry that I was not clear in my post -- the page numbers do not appear in
the correct sequence when the pages are duplexed and folded into a booklet. When I researched this issue, I saw several other postings that this feature (book fold) does not work properly in Word 2007 and I am looking for a workaround. -- George "Suzanne S.

Creating a booklet in Word 2007
I am able to get Word 2007 to booklet print but only if the size of each page
is 5.5 x 8.5 with each page taking up 1/2 of a piece of 8 1/2 x 11 paper in landscape mode. What I want is to print so that each the two side-by-side pages are in portrait, each page being approx. 4 1/4 by 5 1/2, taking up 1/2 of the piece of paper. The link provided and many of the postings I've looked at don't answer the question about controlling final page size. I would be happy to be able to do that. But what I really want is that when printed in duplex portrait, I would be able to cut the printouts in half and end up with two booklets, with each page 3.5 x 5.5. In other words, the first physical page would have at the top left page 100 (yeah, it's a 100 page booklet), and top right is page 1. Bottom of first physical page is page 100 on bottom left, and page 1 on bottom right. Cut in half, stitch staple, fold, and viola 2 100 page booklets. I hope that this is clear - I realize that I may end up feeding the paper back through a second time turned around to print the bottom half of each page. Not sure how to set up Page size--is it 3.5 x 5.5 (the final actual size of each page), or is it 7 x 5.5 (the size of two pages that will be folded) and would it be landscape or portrait? So many questions, so little time. George "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Then see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...etPrinting.htm -- Suzanne S.

Creating a booklet in Word 2007
If you're willing to print half and then flip and print the other end, you
*might* be able to do this by telling word the paper is landscape 5.5 x 7 (the pages will then by 3.5 by 5.5), provided your printer is cooperative. But there's no way to make Word print the booklet twice at the same time. -- Suzanne S.

Creating a booklet in Word 2007
Thanks -- I ended up giving up earlier today. I could not get control of the
page size I wanted. At 5.5 x 7 my printer would not cooperate, so I couldn't even get it to print out the one copy in the size I wanted, let alone 2-up. A very frustrating and time consuming experience. -- George "Suzanne S.
