problem printing brochure
I am using Word 2002, and have set up the layout for a four page
(single sheet, folded once) brochure, following the directions in the Help file (multiple pages set as book fold, sheets per booklet set at 4). Everything seems fine till I go to print the file. No matter what page(s) I ask for, all that prints is page 3 (which is on the correct position on the paper). I am printing on an HP 5550 inkjet printer. What am I doing wrong? |

problem printing brochure
For a four-page brochure, printing any one of the pages should print all
four. But Word's apparent inability to correctly print specified pages (or even sets of pages) in a "Book fold" document is why I still use the method described at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...etPrinting.htm. For four-page "booklets" such as dance programs, I don't even do that, just use two pages with two columns, arranged in the order 2, 3, 4, 1. Since page 1 is the cover and doesn't continue inside, this works for that particular type of layout. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks, Suzanne.
I did have the idea to just use columns if I couldn't solve the problem. It's surprising to me that Microsoft hasn't fixed this bug (unless they did it in Word 2003). I didn't even find anything about it in their Knowlege Base. |

I think the reason you didn't find anything about it in the KB is that
nobody really uses the "Book fold" feature. I think most users try it once, conclude that the feature is "not ready for prime time," and go back to whatever they were doing before. Maybe I'm wrong, though, and it will be fixed in Word 12 (hope, hope). -- Suzanne S.
