I have a number of documents I have in Word 2007. I would like to
print these in booklet form.

For example:
An 8 page word document
The booklet would be printed in landscape mode
The 1st sheet would have page 1 & 8 on one side and page 2 & 7 on the
other. The 2nd sheet would have page 3 & 6 on one side and page 4 & 5
on the other.

I am looking for an addin to enable Word 2007 to print in this manner.
Alternatively (2nd choice), I would like a separate application that
would do this.

Can anyone offer any ideas?

Save the file as a .pdf. Upload it to this site and it will do the work for
you. Print the resulting .pdf file.

How do you feel about pdf's? If you can generate a pdf, you can open
it in Adobe Reader, and from Adobe Reader 8 or 9 (I don't know about 7
or earlier), you can print it as a booklet.

Have you tried the "Book fold" feature that is built into Word? On the
Margins tab of Page Setup, choose "Book fold" for "Multiple pages." Word
will set up your document with two pages per sheet. You will create the
pages in ordinary numerical order, but Word will print them in the order
required for folding into a booklet.

This feature works reasonably well provided you are printing the entire
booklet. Most users report disappointing results trying to reprint specific
pages. For another approach, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...etPrinting.htm. This method will
work in any version.

You can also set this up manually using "2 pages per sheet" in the "Multiple
pages" dropdown. This will create pages in numerical order, and you can
print them in the required order by entering 8, 1, 2, 7, 6, 3, 4, 5 in the
"Pages" box in the Print dialog. There is also a macro at the
above-referenced site that automates this process.

Suzanne:

The method you described using Word 2007's "Book Fold" feature works
well. The number of pages increases, but that was good as Word
apparently adjusted to make the printed copy quite readable.

However, how can I force Word to just print the front or back side of
the document? The test print I ran printed every page. I quess I
could feed the pages into my copier, but that would be a waste of
paper.

Also, in Page Setup, I was asked about Sheets per booklet. Do I want
"Auto", "All", or one of the numerical choices.

Thanks again

David

Sounds like doing it through Reader is more flexible. You can print
any or all of the generated two-page sides.

I usually use the "All" choice for "Sheets per booklet." Just keep in mind
that they need to be a multiple of 4. Unless you have a printer that
duplexes automatically, your best bet is to print just one side of a page
and duplex by photocopying, but you could experiment with Word's "Manual
duplex" setting.

As for the number of pages, when you go to create a booklet, keep in mind
that you will probably want to reduce the margins and type size from what
you would use for a full-sized page.

Why do you say increase the type size? I generally use smaller type on
smaller pages/in narrower columns. In most cases 12-pt is okay for either a
full page or a half page in a directory or "yearbook," but for a printed 7"
x 9" book, I usually find 11-pt more suitable.

I need to thank you for all your suggestions. Word does a good job
for me with the booklet printing. The fact that Word reflows the text
is fine for my application. But, I suppose that depends on what your
end product is.

I did find one other interesting way of booklet printing. I use Word
2007 to add footnotes, page numbers, borders, etc. - any other special
effects desired. I then use a special download from Microsoft's
download site to do a "save as" to a pdf file. I use Adobe Acrobat
(at least 8.1) to print using Adobe's booklet print mode. Using Adobe
to do the booklet printing keeps the same text on a given page. Adobe
reduces the margins a small amount. Adobe also allows you to print
only the front side, back side and to reverse the page order. This is
handy for some printers - like my laser.

Apparently you can accomplish the same thing (with a PDF) even using Adobe
Reader--at least that's how I interpret grammatim's remarks.
