book with columns
I am using word 2003. I have created a book and it has over 50 pages in it. I
have used landscape and have made them into columns. I want to number each page (two per page because of columns) and then I want to print so that I then fold each page and then use a bookbinding machine which will glue each page at the fold. I'm not even sure where to start - please help |

For this application only (not for booklet printing generally), see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/Print2Pages.htm A much better solution for Word 2000 and above is to use "2 pages per sheet" in the Page Setup dialog (not the one in the Print dialog) instead of columns. Then you can add page numbers just as you normally would because Word treats each half of each physical page as a logical page. Since you already have your text formatted into columns, you should not experience much change in layout if you enable "2 pages per sheet" (it's in the "Multiple pages" dropdown on the Margins tab of Page Setup) and format the content back to a single column. -- Suzanne S.

book with columns
I pressed no for "did it help" but it did technically - What I've done is go
into 2 pages per sheet and scaled it to 8.5 x 11. Technically fantastic BUT - I took out the colums and had my document as portrait but when I go to print, I have to print page 4 and 1 on the first side, then when I re-insert it, I have to enter 2 and three, and so on, so that when I fold my sheet and glue it in, the pages run the way I need them to. So technically - you helped me find a solution, but do you know if there is a way to sent the document to print without having to enter all that information. It's okay with a wee document, but a larger will give me grief. I'm not sure if there is a way of getting it figured out in some kind of print setup that I can go to every time I want to do this. I appreciate your help very much and at least now I can accomplish the task - just looking for a quicker way to accomplish it now. "Suzanne S.

If you're creating a booklet, you should use the "Book fold" option instead.
What you described was folding and glueing. What I envisioned was that you would be folding pages 1 and 2 (on a single sheet) back to back and glueing the free edges into the binding. Then pages 3 and 4, and so on. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "cobymom" wrote in message ...

book with columns
It's a book, with way too many pages for the book fold. I need to have
several sheets, all folded, but side by side, not inside one another. I guess I don't do things easily do I? So the first page, when folded, has page one, open it to see pages 2 and 3, then the back has page 4. The next page will have page 5, open it to see pages 6 and 7, close it to see page 8 and so on. Technically, if I had 40 numbered pages in my book, with the pages landscaped, I would have a total of ten sheets, with two pages on either side of the sheet. These 10 pages will be arranged side by side, not inside one another, and the folded parts will be glued into the book binding cover. It's likely that it can't be done other than the way I'm doing it as described in last post. I guess I was hoping there was yet a shortcut to lessen the time of it all. "Suzanne S.

You could still use "Book fold" with "booklets" of four pages to get the
effect you want. You can create "signatures" of any size up to 40 pages. Alternatively, you can use "2 pages per sheet" and print in the desired order by entering the pages in the Pages box in the Print dialog. But for your purpose, I think the four-page signatures would be the way to go. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "cobymom" wrote in message ...

book with columns
Word calls them "booklets." Once you have selected "Book fold," you have an
additional choice of "Sheets per booklet." If you choose 4 pages, my assumption is that Word would turn your document into "booklets" of 4 pages each. I admit I have not tried this however, so I can't attest to whether my assumption is correct. In the bookmaking trade, these are called "signatures" and are created somewhat differently: signatures of 16 pages are created by printing 8 pages on each side of a large sheet of paper, which is then folded down to the size of a single page and the edges trimmed to create a "booklet" that is either glued or sewn into a binding. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookbinding, http://online-judge.uva.es/p/v9/999.html, or other results you can get by googling for "book signatures." -- Suzanne S.
