Need major help w/ Word 2007 'booklets'
Woe is me. My computer crashed, so I took advantage of today's low
prices and bought a new one... with Vista... and Office 2007. I was able to restore all my backed-up Word documents, but along with the wide difference between Word '03 and '07, which I am generally able to cope with, one aspect is giving me major fits. It's a 'booklet,' a subject that doesn't even come up in Word '07 Help. This is a file that printed flawlessly under '03, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what do do in '07. I have to make changes to the original, so it's not just a matter of saving the file as an earlier version. Can someone please guide me to a tutorial on printing folding booklets in '07? Is there a hidden Help file somewhere, I hope? Mainly, is there a way to look at the sheets (rather than pages) as they are going to print, with page 6 on the back of (or facing) page 17, or whatever, for instance? Thanks very much! |

If the booklet is formatted as "Book fold" (under "Multiple pages" on the
Margins tab of Page Setup), it should work just the same in Word 2007 (though if you're using a different printer driver, as you will be in Vista, then the layout may not be exactly identical). In Word 2007, however, you have an additional option; after downloading the PDF add-in, you can convert to PDF, then (I am told) print as a booklet from Adobe Reader. -- Suzanne S.

Need major help w/ Word 2007 'booklets'
Booklet printing appeared in Reader 9. If you don't have a duplexing
printer, then first print the odd pages, front to back, then put the paper back into the printer tray in the same orientation (don't turn the stack around or over) and print the even pages, back to front. To print a booklet directly from Word (no, there doesn't seem to be a way to preview the dual pages), on an HP Photosmart there's a setting for "manual two-sided." If you turn that on, it will print all the odd pages, then pause and give you a message to put the stack back in the paper tray just as above, and it prints the even pages where they belong.

That technique certainly works for booklets set up using the instructions at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...etPrinting.htm, but I'm not convinced it would work for "Book fold" documents, which are set up as "2 pages per sheet" to begin with. You can create booklets manually using "2 pages per sheet"; you just have to enter the page numbers in the correct order in the "Pages" box in the Print dialog. -- Suzanne S.

Need major help w/ Word 2007 'booklets'
Many thanks to the both of you.
After my initial panic, like a lamb being led to the slaughter, I simply put paper in the printer and hit the button. Lo and behold, with the exception of the revised booklet having a number of pages that didn't divide by four, it printed flawlessly. The printer, under Vista's command, is far smarter than I am; I should simply resign myself to this. It just bothers me that less of the job seems under my control than under previous versions of Windows. I have a couple of non-Adobe PDF 'printers,' but have yet to try those with this project. One thing I will need is a PDF to send to the printer, with pages in their proper order for double-sided booklet printing, and another PDF version for on-screen reading. This may mean that I will need two .docx files, one set as a booklet and one as a series of 2-column pages. I am interested in the 'PDF add-in' that Suzanne mentioned; is that from MS or Adobe? A link would be much appreciated. Thanks again; you guys always save the day. "grammatim" wrote: Booklet printing appeared in Reader 9.

I've printed several things that way since you told me about Booklet
Printing. Maybe this Book Fold feature is a feature of your printer? (I used to print CD booklets out of FrameMaker where I had to figure out the imposition and thread the text flow manually, which could be pretty complicated.) On Apr 10, 9:52*am, "Suzanne S.

No, "Book fold" is one of the "Multiple pages" settings on the Margins tab
of Page Setup. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "grammatim" wrote in message ...
