problem with page numbering and printing
I've got a fifty page pamphlet ready for printing but the printer
wants it in the following format: page 52 page1 page 51 page 2 page 50 page 3 page 49 page 4 and so on first problem, how can I renumber the pages; I don't mind doing them individually but can find no feature for that, unlike with good old WordStar. second, how can I move the pages around ie page 49 to the 4th page. Any help gratefully received |

problem with page numbering and printing
You can renumber the pages with a combination of fields e.g.
{ ={ Numpages } - { Page } + 1 } but as Word is not a page layout application, there are no 'pages' as such, merely text flowed to the limits set by the margins and the printer driver. I would be inclined therefore to 'print' to a PDF driver (PrimoPDF is freeware if you don't have one) and set the properties of the driver to print in reverse order. Get the printer to print the PDF file. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org thedarkman wrote: I've got a fifty page pamphlet ready for printing but the printer wants it in the following format: page 52 page1 page 51 page 2 page 50 page 3 page 49 page 4 and so on first problem, how can I renumber the pages; I don't mind doing them individually but can find no feature for that, unlike with good old WordStar. second, how can I move the pages around ie page 49 to the 4th page.

I believe the issue here, Graham, is that the printer wants the document in
"Book fold" order. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

I believe you may be right, but that is not what was asked.

Well, that's the way I read it, but you may be right that all the printer
wants is the pages in reverse order, in which case presumably they could be printed to PDF in reverse order. To me, though, the tipoff is that the printer is asking for "page 52" when the OP says it is a "50-page pamphlet." -- Suzanne S.
