Default 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?

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?

to
include the section number with the page number.

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.

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.

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!!
