Booklet printing in Word 2007
I am trying to print a telephone & address directory in booklet formwith two
pages per sheet. The forms which I use are in Portrait orientation. On Page Layout Custom Margins Page Layout, the moment I select under Multiple pages 'Book fold', the paper orientation on that page switched to Landscape. I trie to trick it by changing the paper size on the Page tab. That made everything look right on the screen, but, when printing it results in complete nonsense. That is actually to be expected, because Iafter changing the paper size, I'd really have to feed 11 in wide paper!!! How can one do booklet printing in portrait form? Any help would be appreciated. |

You let Word use the settings it wants. It *needs* the sheet to be
landscape. You get two portrait pages on one landscape sheet, which is what you want, right? -- Suzanne S.

No, I have forms from Day Timer, which in portrait layout have two logical
pages per physical page, to go into an adddress & telephone booklet, that fits into my daytimer notebook. The logical pages are roughly 6 1/2 in high & 3 in wide. I printed it several years ago in Office XP and did not encounter that problem. Before that I used Word Perfect, which has a booklet printing option. Peter K "Suzanne S.

Instead of using "Book fold," why not select "2 pages per sheet" in the same
dropdown? This will allow you to set up the pages manually. -- Suzanne S.

Sorry, but that does not work. One can no longer set up the two pages side
by side. The gutter margin cannot be inside any longer, as it should be & it appears one can only have one page on top of the other. Also, it appears that the ultimate rearranging of pages for a booklet is lost. (First & last page on first sheet, pages 2 & last - 1 on the other side of that sheet, etc.) I'd hate to reverse to the fairly easy solution from 15 years ago, save the file in an earlier Word format, reinstall Word Perfect 7, which I still have & import & print it there.

Booklet printing in Word 2007
You either want a booklet or you don't. If you want a booklet, go with "Book
fold." Or you can use "2 pages per sheet" and print the pages in the desired order. Note that you don't need to use a gutter margin; you can use the built-in mirror margins; just be aware that in "Book fold" they are reversed (a bug), so you need to set them the opposite of what you want. -- Suzanne S.
