Resizing and printing problems

New question, actually, but I need some info on printing things right.

Let me explain my situation. I'm using my boss's Word 2002, and he asked me
to make a printed booklet. While I got it printed out right, I spotted an
error in one of the pages, and tried reprinting in many ways, with no
success, and lots of trees killed (i.e, lots of paper wasted).

Don previously wrote that when you fold a sheet of paper in two, you get
pages 1 and 4 on one side, and pages 2 & 3 in the inside fold. What about a
document 36 pages long? I mean, that's how it would be if I didn't have to
fold it.

Right now, I'm trying to print out a page in this order:
1. page 9 (outside right)
2. page 29 (outside left)
3. page 10 (inside left)
4. page 28 (inside right)

Could really use some info fast, as this is meant for a university handbook
I'm making.

Thanks!

The way you describe, it is confusing.
What do you want on the back of page 1?

A sheet of paper when folded is 4 pages. One side are pages 1 and 4 and the
other side are pages 2 and 3.

Hi all

I am trying to print a wedding invitation using publisher 2003. I have
tried to print using a booklet sized 13.5cm x 13.5cm, however when i
print,
the pages are not in the correct order.
I wish to print pg1 on left, pg4 on right.
pages 2,3 will be inside left (pg2) then right (pg3)

Printing is done on a standard home printer.

What am i doing wrong??

TIA

Try getting some paper (9 sheets for a 36-page booklet), folding it into a
booklet, and writing the page numbers on. This will show you which numbers
are on which pages.

(You should notice that an even-numbered page 2n is always on the back of an
odd-numbered page (2n - 1). i.e. Page 2 is on the back of page 1, page 10 is
on the back of page 9, etc. etc.)

The important thing to remember is that you don't have to print the second
half of the booklet. e.g. Once you've printed page 1, you don't have to
print page 36, as it is included when you print page 1.

Depending on how you want to work, and on the way your printer works, you
can either print each page, turn over, print the next page, etc. (1 to 1, 2
to 2, 3 to 3, etc. up to 18 to 18), or you can print the odd pages and then
the even pages (1 to 1, 3 to 3... 17 to 17, reinsert stack into printer, 18
to 18, 16 to 16, ... 2 to 2).

If you print the entire document to a PDF file instead, you can let Adobe
Reader handle the choice of odd and even pages. If you have certain models
of printer, the printer driver will give you explicit instructions on
exactly how to reinsert the paper.
