Book fold in Portrait orientation
We want to print a student directory using the Book fold setup but want to
print in the landscape orientation so it's read from top to bottom, rather than left to right as in the landscape orientation. We've done the normal book layout, but are adding more information on each line, and need the additional space the landscape gives us. Word doesn't allow me to choose the Portrait orientation. Does anyone know how I could get this set up so it it prints like a book? |

Book fold in Portrait orientation
Book fold produces a booklet with two portrait pages on a landscape sheet.

Book fold in Portrait orientation
No. I already know how to do the normal booklet with book fold. I guess it
would be 2 landscape pages (8 1/2 by 5 1/2) on a Portrait sheet. We want the width of the 8 1/2 sheet, but want to fold it, from top to bottom, as in the TENT FOLD in Publisher. The Portrait Orientation cannot be selected when Book Fold is used in WORD. Publisher can do it, but we use the mail merge in Word to bring in the data from Excel. It will automatically format with tabs, leading ....., etc. so it only takes a few minutes to create, using WORD. The only other thing I can think of trying is to create the pages in word and copy to Publisher. I'm not sure if the formatting will remain the same. I'd much rather figure out a way in WORD to do it. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Book fold produces a booklet with two portrait pages on a landscape sheet.

Book fold in Portrait orientation
I was afraid that was what you wanted. You will have to do this manually,
unfortunately. Set the document for "2 pages per sheet" instead of "Book fold." This will allow you to choose the two-landscapes-per-portrait layout. Type the document sequentially as usual, making sure that the total number of pages is a multiple of four. Then, in the Print dialog, select the appropriate page pairs to print (n and 1, 2 and n-1, n-2 and 3, etc.). If the booklet has more than about 16 pages, you may want to think of a different approach. -- Suzanne S.
