Macros for booklet printing (Word 2000)
And just one more query, thankyou ever so kindly for any help.
This is an MVPS.org (lifesavers) file on booklet printing: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/BookletMacro.htm Is the DuplexPrinter Macro able to print out on paper just in one go, without turning the sheets over, as I can do this when I get to photocopy stage. (I don't want to print both sides initially because the ink shows through and makes it look messy.) Also, do I copy and paste the entire Macro listed - i.e. both in one? If no, where does one being and the other end? Sorry, I have never used macros before . . . -- AJ |

Macros for booklet printing (Word 2000)
I'm the author of the booklet printing article
(http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...etPrinting.htm) but not the macro (or any macro), so I can't be sure, but from the description I would guess that what you need to do is use the Simplex macro and just print the second pass on plain paper instead of the pages you've already printed. Or you can do it manually (with two passes) using the method described in my article, which, as Richard points out, does offer considerably more control and flexibility (without any macros at all). In Richard's article, each block that begins with Sub and a macro name is a second macro, but you can paste them all into a single module, one at a time or singly. For one method of doing them singly, see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Suzanne S.

Macros for booklet printing (Word 2000)
I have set up the entire bulletin on 2 pages per sheet, so would rework my
template/document to Mirror Margins instead . . OK, got your article here. I chose macro option initially as i thought it would be easier to set up - it's for my Dad's Rotary Bulletin and I need to teach him all this . . . Although I could do with using pagination, for both him and my own longer docs. So is the page numbering relatively simple to work out, if I want no numbers, or roman numerals, on the four covers/inside covers? -- AJ "Suzanne S.

Macros for booklet printing (Word 2000)
If you're using my method, you just create the pages in normal order as you
would any document. Header/footer and pagination are perfectly straightforward. The print method takes care of putting the appropriate pages together. If the Rotary bulletin is just four pages, though (that is, a single sheet folded in half), I wouldn't bother with any sort of booklet setup unless you need page 1 to flow to page 2. If page 1 is a cover, I would just use a two-column or "2 pages per sheet" format. I routinely do this with concert programs, setting up the pages as 2 and 3, then 4 and 1. The text on page 3 flows to page 4, and page 1 is a cover. Alternatively, you can still use "2 pages per sheet" and set the pages up in their natural order, using the Print dialog controls to print the appropriate facing pages. I guess I'm lucky; the Rotary bulletin I publish is just one side (four columns on legal-size paper with a double parallel fold); I have the outside commercially printed with static information, so only the inside changes from week to week. -- Suzanne S.
