Booklet printing in Word 2007
in [Page Layout]
|
From: Gordon on 2 Apr 2010 04:21 Tearing my hair out and wasting LOTS of paper and toner in trying to print a booklet. I do NOT have a duplex printer, but I cannot seem to get the settings right for this - the pages either don't print next to each other properly, or are upside down, or in the wrong order. Can anyone point me to a GOOD tutorial where I can see what I am not doing?

No. (I have to say it's not my document - it was originally created in Publisher and has been converted to Word for insertion in another document, although it's a document in it's own right) If I insert a break -next odd page at the bottom of page 1, when it gets saved as pdf there's a blank page as page 2.....so that doesn't work either.

It doesn't matter what I do, the print preview in Acrobat shows the WRONG printing - the blank page is inserted in front of page 2, NOT next to page 1, which is where it should be. If I choose Odd pages, (I don't have a duplex printer), it shows page 1 and page 7, NOT page 1 and the blank page.
