Are you printing single pages or two pages per sheet? If you're printing
single pages, then you can just print the odd pages, then flip over and
print the even pages in reverse order. I thought you were printing two pages
on each side of a single sheet, since you mentioned saddle stapling. If
you're setting up the imposition yourself, then you have to tell Word to
print 12,1,10,3,8,5, then flip over and print 6,7,4,9,2,11; you type these
numbers into the "Pages" box. But it would be much easier to use the "Book
fold" feature.

Clarification:
When I attempt to print I open the (now) 12 page file, select "Manual
Duplex" and let the printer print the 1st side. I stick the sheets back in
and let it print the other side. Per Suzanne, do I have to "reassign" my
pages so it prints 1 then 12 , etc etc. ?
I was under the impression that when you selected "Manual duplex" it
automatically assigned the pages correctly (i.e so the Cover came out on
the
front with the binding on the left) from my 1-12 file
I never professed to be the brightest bulb on the Christamas tree.

I have been through the KB and cannot find an answer to my problem.
I am trying to print a 10 (even # of pages) saddle staple booklet
compiled
in MS Word 2003. I am trying to print landscape, portrait orientation
of
page, 2 pages/sheet. Manual duplex selected. HP 1000 LJ printer.
Everything
is correct in PRINT VIEW.
First, page 1 (the cover) is on the wrong side of the page for saddle
staping. The print sequence is 1 & 3, 2 &4, 5 & 7, 6 & 8 then page 9
on
one
sheet and page 10 on the backside of the same sheet incorrectly
leaving
two
blank panels, one beside 9 and one beside 10.
I tried also my HP 7530 printer and also took the file to Kinko's and
they
tried it on 2 full duplex copiers and coverted it to Acrobat to try it
on
another copier.
Any ideas?
