How do I set up a booklet to bind with punch and bind system?
I've created a 64 page booklet using bookfold. If it's printed as is, to do
the punch and bind, the printer will have to trim not only the right (outside) side to make it even but trim off some on the left (inside). I want to have it printed it as follows: 1st sheet Front Back page 1 page 1 page 2 page 2 2nd sheet page 3 page 3 page 4 page 4 and so on. The end product would be cut in half, making 2 booklets. Is printing it this way a function of the printer or of MS Word? If the latter, how do I set this up? Thanks in advance for any help!! |

How do I set up a booklet to bind with punch and bind system?
To print this way, you don't want to use "Book fold" at all. Instead, just
create each page once, using the "2 pages per sheet" selection in Page Setup (not the one in the Print dialog). This will give you your half pages. Then, in the Print dialog, print Pages 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, etc. It may require more than one print run to get them all, as there's some finite limit to how many page numbers you can put in the Pages box. -- Suzanne S.

How do I set up a booklet to bind with punch and bind system?
I tried that and it works...sort of. First let me say that not all my pages
are not numbered numbered: the outside cover=1, inside cover=2 on status bar and the Table of Contents(TOC)=3 on status bar are all not numbered in the footer. Numbered pages: #2=4 on status bar, #3=5 and #4=6. I entered 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4 in the print popup. The resulting 6 sheets that printed are as follows: Cov Cov Inside Cov TOC page #d 2 Inside Cov TOC page #d 2 Page #'d 3 Page #'d 3 Page #'d 4 Page #'d 4 Does that make sense? I could send you an image of the pages, if you like but I don't see any place to attach files and could not paste it into this message. Thanks. "Suzanne S.

How do I set up a booklet to bind with punch and bind system?
Well, I was reading the other posts and came to one that had a link to Useful
Style References which I clicked on and then from there clicked on another link to How to set up a document. While reading the 2nd paragraph, it hit me that I could check "Continue from previous section" in the Page Number Format popup, which I did and it solved the problem. The only question remaining for me on this topic is: Is there not an easier way to do this? I mean, there are 65 pages in my book which will take some time to print using this method. Thanks for your help, Suzanne. "TXWeezie" wrote: I tried that and it works...sort of.

How do I set up a booklet to bind with punch and bind system?
If you have section breaks, it becomes more complicated; then you have to
include the section number with the page number. -- Suzanne S.

How do I set up a booklet to bind with punch and bind system?
Since you can have different headers and footers for the first page only, I
had to use sections to separate the Covers (front and back: inside and outside) from the main body of the book since I don't want page numbers on them. I don't want section numbers in the page number either, so is there another way to set up the document to achieve my goal or am I just stuck with the way it is (as far as page numbering and printing go)? Should I put the covers in a separate document? "Suzanne S.

How do I set up a booklet to bind with punch and bind system?
If your printer is going to be dealing with hard copy (printout), then I
don't see any reason not to make the covers a separate document. One more print job for you, but you can still give the printer the whole thing as a package. If you're printing to PDF, you can combine the two documents in Acrobat, I believe. Alternatively, if your printer will accept PDF, why not just send the whole job to him and let him take care of the imposition? -- Suzanne S.

How do I set up a booklet to bind with punch and bind system?
Over a year has past and I'm just wondering if Microsoft has ever addressed
this issue - of being able to print a document "2 up"? According to my printer, there are other softwares in which you can print 2 up and I don't understand why Microsoft cannot include that function in Word.

How do I set up a booklet to bind with punch and bind system?
Depends what you mean by "2 up." You can print two pages per sheet (i.e.,
reduced) through the Print dialog, and you can can create a document as two pages per sheet by selecting this under "Multiple pages" on the Margins tab of page setup. If you want duplicate pages, you must either create the page twice or print it twice (by selecting, say, 1,1 for the Pages setting in the Print dialog). If you want to create a page once and automatically print it twice (or more), you need to use Publisher. -- Suzanne S.

How do I set up a booklet to bind with punch and bind system?
By "2 up" I mean:
Side 1, 1st sheet: 1 1 Side 2, 1st sheet: 2 2 Side 1, 2nd sheet: 3 3 Side 2, 2nd sheet: 4 4 and so until the last two pages, with odd number pages occupying the first side and even number pages occupying the second side. This enables the print shop to use the full 8 1/2" x 11" sheet, which are cut in half thus creating 2 full documents which can be bound with spiral or with spines. My print shop ending up importing into another sofware that allows "2-up" printing, the pdf file i sent them, but I just thought MS might have found a way to do that.

How do I set up a booklet to bind with punch and bind system?
I agree this is cumbersome. Word's "booklet" capability is limited to
printing a folded booklet. Although such booklets can be printed as is, cut in half, and punched and bound, that would not be as straightforward as what you describe. -- Suzanne S.
