I've looked in help and on the MVP site & haven't found anything yet ...

Using Word for Windows 2003 sp2.

I'm creating a book using Word. 8.5x11, four pages per signature, multiple
signatures in the book.

Using View/Print Layout, I'd like to edit my book where I see page 1 by
itself (as it would be in a real book), pages 2-3 appear left-right
side-by-side, 4-5 appear side-by-side, etc.

So far, I can display page 1 on the left, 2 to its right, 3 below left, 4
below right, etc. This doesn't help with formatting pages that will appear
side-by-side in the real book.

TIA,

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

If you have selected either "Mirror margins" (Paper tab of Page Setup) or
"Different odd and even" (Layout tab), you will see facing pages.

Wish it was that easy.

I had "Book fold" selected in the Paper tab and "Different odd and even"
selected in the Layout tab and the behavior I described occurred.

I also have "Different first page" selected. Unselected it to no effect.

I just tried setting my page settings to "Mirror margins" and the display
changed to a single wide 11 x 8.5" page.

I then changed my page size to Custom, 5.5" wide by 8.5" high and set the
Paper tab to Mirror Margins. I now see the book the way I want, but only in
Print Preview. I'm looking for a way to show it with book pages
side-by-side in edit mode.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

You can't see facing pages in Print Layout view, only in Print Preview.
