What size paper are you actually trying to print to?
If you are printing on 8.5 x 11 that you are then trimming to the correct
size. You can use the bookfold option, but note, illogically it is the
inside margin that you will need to increase to move the text in from the
edges of the paper so that when you trim it to the 6" wide (2 x 3") that you
mentioned. the text will be in the right place.

I definitely need a booklet. My forms require portrait orientation, The
two
pages per sheet appear like two 'columns' side by side about 2.6 in wide
and
6 in high.
That has never been a problem in Word Perfect nor in several add on
softwares. I also got it to work with Office XP. It was laborious but,
finally worked. Unfortunately, I did not keep notes & I only do this once
every three to four years.
In Word 2007 (otherwise a great program):
If I try Book fold, it forces me to use Landscape. If I trick it,
inverting
the paper size, everything looks fine on the screen, but, of course, it
cannot print since in effect I specified 11 in wide paper to be fed.
If I go to '2 pages per sheet' & Portait, the two pages are on top of each
other & not side by side.
Specifying 'mirror margins' one gets one page per sheet.
Is there any 'work around' you areaware of?

You either want a booklet or you don't. If you want a booklet, go with
"Book
fold." Or you can use "2 pages per sheet" and print the pages in the
desired
order. Note that you don't need to use a gutter margin; you can use the
built-in mirror margins; just be aware that in "Book fold" they are
reversed
(a bug), so you need to set them the opposite of what you want.

Sorry, but that does not work. One can no longer set up the two pages
side
by side. The gutter margin cannot be inside any longer, as it should be
&
it
appears one can only have one page on top of the other. Also, it
appears
that the ultimate rearranging of pages for a booklet is lost. (First &
last
page on first sheet, pages 2 & last - 1 on the other side of that
sheet,
etc.)
I'd hate to reverse to the fairly easy solution from 15 years ago, save
the
file in an earlier Word format, reinstall Word Perfect 7, which I still
have
& import & print it there.

Instead of using "Book fold," why not select "2 pages per sheet" in
the
same
dropdown? This will allow you to set up the pages manually.

No, I have forms from Day Timer, which in portrait layout have two
logical
pages per physical page, to go into an adddress & telephone
booklet,
that
fits into my daytimer notebook. The logical pages are roughly 6
1/2
in
high
& 3 in wide. I printed it several years ago in Office XP and did
not
encounter that problem. Before that I used Word Perfect, which has
a
booklet
printing option.

You let Word use the settings it wants. It *needs* the sheet to
be
landscape. You get two portrait pages on one landscape sheet,
which
is
what
you want, right?

I am trying to print a telephone & address directory in booklet
formwith
two
pages per sheet.
The forms which I use are in Portrait orientation.
On Page Layout Custom Margins Page Layout, the moment I select
under
Multiple pages 'Book fold', the paper orientation on that page
switched to
Landscape.
I trie to trick it by changing the paper size on the Page tab.
That
made
everything look right on the screen, but, when printing it
results
in
complete nonsense. That is actually to be expected, because
Iafter
changing
the paper size, I'd really have to feed 11 in wide paper!!!
How can one do booklet printing in portrait form?
Any help would be appreciated.
