How to display book pages as they appear in the book?
I've looked in help and on the MVP site & haven't found anything yet ...
Using Word for Windows 2003 sp2. I'm creating a book using Word. 8.5x11, four pages per signature, multiple signatures in the book. Using View/Print Layout, I'd like to edit my book where I see page 1 by itself (as it would be in a real book), pages 2-3 appear left-right side-by-side, 4-5 appear side-by-side, etc. So far, I can display page 1 on the left, 2 to its right, 3 below left, 4 below right, etc. This doesn't help with formatting pages that will appear side-by-side in the real book. TIA, |

How to display book pages as they appear in the book?
If you have selected either "Mirror margins" (Paper tab of Page Setup) or
"Different odd and even" (Layout tab), you will see facing pages. -- Suzanne S.

"Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... If you have selected either "Mirror margins" (Paper tab of Page Setup) or "Different odd and even" (Layout tab), you will see facing pages. Wish it was that easy. I had "Book fold" selected in the Paper tab and "Different odd and even" selected in the Layout tab and the behavior I described occurred. I also have "Different first page" selected. Unselected it to no effect. I just tried setting my page settings to "Mirror margins" and the display changed to a single wide 11 x 8.5" page. I then changed my page size to Custom, 5.5" wide by 8.5" high and set the Paper tab to Mirror Margins. I now see the book the way I want, but only in Print Preview. I'm looking for a way to show it with book pages side-by-side in edit mode. Any other ideas? Thanks. |

You can't see facing pages in Print Layout view, only in Print Preview.
