I like to collect newspaper articles in Word's Bookfold layout form. Last
night I copied an article from The Wall Street Journal to a Bookfold setup
with 1/2 inch margins all around. After reducing the font size I had a 9
page document which would print with 3 blank pages at the end. It looked
fine on screen. I printed it on my HP LaserJet 1320 which has
auto-duplexing.

It didn't print well. There were 2 graphics on page 1, The Wall Street
Journal's logo and a sketch. Both of those wound up on page 12. That is,
they printed on the left margin of the physical sheet, not the logical page.

On page 2, a graphic that should have printed aligned to the right margin of
the logical page printed on the right margin of the sheet, or logical page
11.

Page 3, which had a photograph to which I had applied a drop shadow, printed
entirely on logical page 11, that is, on the left hand side of the same
sheet.

The graphic on the left margin of logical page 4 printed on the left margin
of logical page 9.

The graphic that should have printed on the right margin of logical page 5
overprinted the text on the right margin of logical page 8 (the same sheet).

The graphic that should have printed on the left margin of page 7
overprinted text on the left margin of logical page 6 (the same sheet).

The same article, put into a similar file in Word 2003 under Windows XP SP2
and printed on the same printer came out as expected.

If someone could forward this report to the Beta Testers, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
LH.

Hi Bob,

Do you have a link to the article you copied?

What are the steps you used to create the complete document?

If you print to a different printer, such as the MS Office 2007 Document Imaging Writer (an optional install feature in Office 2007)
or to PDF do you get the same problems?

If you take the same file (rather than a similar one) and open it in Word 2003 (either save it as a .DOC file from 2007 or add the
MS Converter for Word 2003 to that version to open the .docX file there) and print do you get the same result?
