page errors in booklets
Hi Word Gurus,
I'm using Word 2002 to print a booklet, 4 pages per booklet. This is a 400-page manuscript I will bind into a book. Pages 1 and 4 appear on the first sheet, 2 and 4 on the back, 5 and 8 on sheet 2, 6 and 7 and sheet 2 back, etc. I successfully did this, but Word often got confused about the pages. For example, when I printed pages 289-296, I wanted Sheet Front Back 1 292,289 290, 291 2 296,293 294, 295 Instead I got: Sheet Front Back 1 292,289 76, 291 2 4,43 37, 295 Anybody else have this trouble? Is there a fix? |

You're the first person I know who's been brave enough to try to use Word's
book fold feature to print signatures. Now you see why commercial printers don't use Word as imposition software. Seriously, the book fold feature is seriously flawed. -- Suzanne S.

Long shot: on the Mac, which includes Print to PDF capability in the OS,
there are a number of programs which will take any PDF and shuffle and shrink the pages to create a booklet. I think 1 of the 3 offers signatures. I've not heard of anything such on Windows, but it might be worth the original poster searching for a PDF utility that offers this feature. In fact, a quick google for "pdf create booklet" suggests that FinePrint and CutePDF might have the booklet feature. Otherwise, would signatures work if the original poster subdivided the document into many files and printed each separately? On 8/30/06 3:31 PM, "Suzanne S.
