Office 2003 booklet printing

nemesis01 · 25-03-2008, 11:36

I am having a problem with office 2003 when trying to print a booklet, I have a .doc with around 9 pages (a list of items) and I just cannot get it to print a booklet how I want it. I want the first page to be on the right side of the first sheet, and the last page to be on the left side of the first sheet so it would be in the right order for a booklet when it is folded.

Can anybody help? I have an Epson DX8400.

I have read that, still does not come out right on the print preview, it prints like page 4 on the same side of the sheet as page 1. I don't get it, brother in law has an R220 and his works perfectly without any messing about.

That's the way it should be if you have a four page document.

Imagine a book opened up and laid flat on a table. The first page will be the back cover (page 4), then the front cover (page 1). Then on the next sheet of paper, page 2 then page 3.

The best way to know for sure is try it and see!

Yes, if you have a 4 page book i'm sure it is right, but my doc is 9 pages but the printer/word seems to treat it as if it is only 4. And yes, I have tried it, using print preview and normal printing on draft to save on ink, just can't get it right.

Have you got any section breaks in there?

And are you sure you have the latest driver?

Yes i'm sure, and yes I have, downloaded it from the Epson site and used it to install the printer.

On my Canon printer, you select PAGE SETUP > BOOKLET PRINTING in the properties of the printer, not in WORD itself.

For example, if you have 16 A4 pages produced in WORD, it will print it back to back with two pages on each side of the A4 sheet, with the first page having page 1 on the right and page 16 on the left, and on the back of that sheet pages 2 and 15

However, I always make sure the total number of pages are in multiples of 4. If I have 9 pages, to avoid confusion I make it up to 12 pages with 3 blank ones.

Found a solution, got a program to do it for me called Clickbook, works perfectly.
