Well...I went back to the booklet, unchecked the "show number on first page"
box saved, and hit print.....sheet 1 was blank, sheet two had front on left
and pg 2 on right, sheet 3 was blank on left and pg 6 on right, sheet four
with pg 3 then pg 4, sheet 5 with pg 5 on left and blank on right. I went
back, checked the box again, saved and hit print and it printed correctly (
I may just change font color to white), You're a guru...thanks

It shouldn't be necessary to print the number on the page, but it should be
numbered 1. If you were starting with 1 on page 2, then Word is legitimately
confused.

was intuative of MS. Thank You Suzanne

Started a new document...set the page up from raw to bookfold...set
margins...typed in text and added clipart...the first page which is
supposed
to be the front of the book constantly prints on the left side of the
paper..no matter what I try. Any solutions out there? Thank you
