MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / September 2003page imposition for making bound books
Hi - I'm looking for an adequate way to print many pages (4, 8, or 16) of a book on one sheet, arranged so that the sheet can be folded and cut into gatherings for a book. It is not a complicated thing to program, but neither Word nor any other word processing program does it properly (that I can find), nor do the big publishing programs: they rely on fancy plug-ins. I've been told there's a version of Word with a book-printing attachment or feature. What is it? Or are there any commercial or shareware plug-ins that do this? Reed Word 2003 has that ability, but I haven't tested it to see if it really works correctly. However, for some good information on this, try the following FAQ... http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Formatting/BookletPrinting.htm  SignatureTerry Farrell - Word MVP > Hi - > I'm looking for an adequate way to print many pages (4, 8, [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > with a book-printing attachment or feature.

"Quite Imposing" would be a commercial tool for you to evaluate ... plantetPDF has a lot of good articles in that area, too. Greetinx .bob ..Word-MVP Signature/"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / X Against HTML / \ in e-mail & news The article Terry referred you to (and Word's "Book fold" feature in Word 2002) will format booklets, but it will not do the kind of imposition you are talking about. For this you require high-end imposition software. A Google search for "imposition software" turns up quite a few products. -- Suzanne S.
