I am having trouble printing a booklet in Publisher
I am trying to print a booklet in Publisher. When I print, the pages do not
line up in booklet form. The first and last page print correctly, but the remaining pages do not print in order. I set my printer to print a booklet and select the correct page sizes; however, they do not come out in booklet order. Can someone help me? |

I am having trouble printing a booklet in Publisher
Printing can be a little bit tricky and you should use the preview
feature before you print so your not wasting paper and building fustration. Having said that, your pages will NOT print in order if you are printing a booklet two sided. the format is like this {Back page} {Front Page (pg1)} {PG2} {PG 3} when you put them together they come out right. If this is not the problem, check the settings for one or two sided printing check that the paper size and layout (portrait or landscape) is matched with what the printer is set for. Keep experimenting and previewing until it looks right I hope this helps Cara wrote: I am trying to print a booklet in Publisher. When I print, the pages do not line up in booklet form.

I don't know how your printer works, but you shouldn't have to set it up.
Publisher will automatically insert pages in the correct order when you select booklet in the page setup. This may be the reason you are getting a wrong arrangement. If you are using stock other than letter, then you will have to setup your printer for the size stock you are using. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com http://officebeta.iponet.net/en-us/p...649111033.aspx "Cara" wrote in message ...

I am having trouble printing a booklet in Publisher
JoAnn - Thanks for replying. I narrowed it down to 12 pages. I had set up
the "guts" of the booklet (which I think was 8 pages) and it printed perfectly. But then I wanted to add a cover and a sheet to be torn out. Since I didn't want any of the verbage of the other half of the tear out sheet, I wanted the left page (which was the left half of the tear out) blank. After I had added these pages, nothing except the cover sheet and the back of that sheet printed in the correct succession. Thanks so much for trying to help.

I am having trouble printing a booklet in Publisher
I couldn't see but two pages when I tried to preview it. And YES I wasted a
lot of paper. When I printed the booklet the first time with I think maybe 8 pages. It printed just fine, but I went back and tried to add a cover and back page, and, a blank sheet. When I did , nothing came out right???? Thanks for replying, Joe.

I am having trouble printing a booklet in Publisher
That's what I did, Mary. I followed the directions in the Publisher help
area. I did the appropriate set up - booklet, correct height & width, and landscape orientation. I had printed the booklet when I first did it (with about 8 pages) and it printed correctly. I wanted to add a cover and back page, and, a blank page, and when I tried to print it - it came out really screwed up. I have two printers and they both printed the same way. ????

I am having trouble printing a booklet in Publisher
I have a booklet I'm working on. My cover is a separate document because
it's going to be printed on different stock. My printer said it would make their life easier if I did it that way. It also made the page numbering easier because I didn't have to fuss with sections. I've also made sure my total number of pages was a multiple of 4. I was hoping to keep it down to 60 pages but that just ain't gonna happen. I'm looking at 64 pages - and the need to find some appropriate fill-in graphics. Nice embroidery graphics (not cutesy stuff) is difficult to come by. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Cara" wrote in message ... JoAnn - Thanks for replying. I narrowed it down to 12 pages.

I am having trouble printing a booklet in Publisher
How did you add the cover? When you insert a page, it has to be in a group of
four. It very well could be the odd number you are adding that is the problem. With your present page one on the screen, insert one page before the present page. Publisher will want to add four, but add only one. Go to the end and add the other three. You may have to move pages around. You can re-arrange the page tabs. At this point you are probably better served by use a separate publication for the cover. That will make page 2 and page 10 blank. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com http://officebeta.iponet.net/en-us/p...649111033.aspx "Cara" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Mary. The way I added pages may be the problem. I'm going to try to
print it tomorrow at work where I have a printer that supports duplex printing. I appreciate your taking the time to respond. Cara "Mary Sauer" wrote: How did you add the cover?
