MS Office Forum / Publisher / General MS Publisher Questions / September 2007Publisher Printing booklets
I have a booklet comprised of 1/4 pages which are numbered. Publisher is printing them out 1, 2, 3, 4 etc which, of course, isn't the way you want a booklet to print. I have set it in the advanced printing area for duplexing but it still doesn't paginate correctly for the booklet. Has anyone else been able to do this. > I have a booklet comprised of 1/4 pages which are numbered.

SignatureEd Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org Thanks for you answer but when I change it to Booklet it doesn't let me print both numbered sides in the 1/4 page set up. I think it would work if it was 1/2 page booklet. If you want a quarter page booklet you need to setup your booklet differently. In page setup, booklet, type 4.25 width, 5.5 height, portrait. Publisher will say it will print two pages per sheet (Publisher's 2002-03-07) If you only want one copy per sheet you will have to setup your printer for a custom size and cut your stock before printing.

If you want a booklet of full pages stapled on one side then you want the pages to come out in the order 1, 2, 3,..., and you want the Full Page configuration. If you want to print double-sided manually, then you'd want 1, 3, ..., 2, 4, ... - this can be done either using certain printer drivers or by going through a PDF file. If you want a booklet that consists of half-pages (either printed on A3/Tabloid stock to give an A4/Letter-sized booklet or on A4/Letter-sized stock to give an A5/half-letter-sized booklet), then you want the booklet option. In no case do you want to configure your printer driver to do 2-up printing - this doesn't get the page ordering right. Let Publisher handle the 2-up using the Booklet option. SignatureEd Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org Thanks to both of you for your answers. Believe me, I have tried everything as have others who are also working on this. Maybe I'm not being clear in describing what we're trying to do. In order to make our booklets we need to print 4 pages per side (both sides) of an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet. When printed the booklet will be 5.5 x 8 1/2--this then folds in the middle so booklet will be (after folding) 4 1/4 w by 5.5 h. This is a convenient size for our organization to carry. After I had completed entering everything the page tabs were in order 1,2,3 etc. and Publisher printed them out just exactly that way which doesn't work to put the booklets together. Example: on one printed page 10, 47 should be on 1/2 of page, pages 46, 11 would be upside down on the other 1/2 of page; on the back 48, 9 would be on 1/2 page and 12, 45 on other half. I have ended up (with help from the person who prints our documents) cutting and pasting so it will print right and using text boxes for page numbering--it has been a bit of a nightmare--especially since I completed this in Word initially--tried to import the file to Publisher (it had columns and tables and wouldn't import) so cut and pasted it before. I do appreciate your responses. Betty Pratt > > Thanks for you answer but when I change it to Booklet it doesn't let me > > print both numbered sides in the 1/4 page set up.

There is an unique booklet here that uses one piece of paper, is convenient to carry. http://msauer.mvps.org/publisher_projects2.htm The original Pocketmod is here: http://www.pocketmod.com/ SignatureMary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com > Thanks to both of you for your answers.

Hi Mary-- I have downloaded it--will 'play' with it later--thanks a bunch Betty Pratt > There is an unique booklet here that uses one piece of paper, is convenient to > carry.

Hi Mary (again) I read about the PocketMod and think it would be a great tool. Problem for my project is that it is 40 pages and we need about 60 copies and the Pocket Mod might be to labor intensive for that (however; at this point, don't think anything could be more than what I have already done :-) ) I appreciate that site and probably will use it for other projects later Betty Pratt > Thanks to both of you for your answers.
