Hi All,
     I have created a booklet. It's on 8.5 x 14, legal, so I can fold it
and get an 8.5 x 7 finished booklet.

     I just printed all 140 pages of the thing, (~35 sheets), and found an
error on one sheet. This sheet has pages 5, 6, 135, and 136 on it.

     Is there a way to tell Word that I want to print just that sheet of
the booklet, complete, with all four pages layed out properly?

In theory, if you tell Word to print any one of those pages, it will print
all four automatically. In theory. My experience has been that this doesn't
always work as advertised.

I couldn't get this to work by selecting specific pages in Book Fold, it just
wanted to print the whole thing. Mine was shorter and I didn't have time to
mess with it so I just wasted the paper.

If you can't think of something more elegant, how about making a copy of your
file, deleting all pages except 5, 6, 135, and 136 and then printing a one
sheet/four page booklet? You'd have to make your footers part of the text
and insert the page numbers manually, but it would beat printing out the rest
of the 140 pages.

Problems of this type are the reason I reverted to the method I devised for
Word 97 (which still works just fine in all versions of Word); see
