Default Word2007 bug: won't place picture correctly

I am preparing a book.
It has Multiple pages: two on a landscape 8 1/2 x 11 sheet.

A picture on the right side, page two, prints on the left side, page one.

Try it. Page Setup: "landscape"
Multiple pages: "2 pages per sheet"

Hit enough lines (Enter) to make the second page appear.
Insert a picture on the right hand, page two.
Print review is ok.
Print it.

It will print on the left side, page one.

I've tried everything, including wrapping the picture in
text; setting page breaks and section breaks.

If I cannot solve this, Word2007 is useless to me.

HELP !

Default Word2007 bug: won't place picture correctly

Well, first of all, page 1 should be on the right side, not the left (page 2
is on the left, on the back of page 1). Second, an easier way to get a
second page is to insert a page break (Ctrl+Enter). Instead of using "2
pages per sheet," have you tried using "Book fold"?

That's all very true. But did you try it?
Yes, I did try "Book fold" with a somewhat more comical result.

This is Word 2007. I moved the file to my son's Mac and
he sees the same thing in his Word X.

Try it. It will take only a minute. Let me know what you see.

Thanks for helping,

I don't have Word 2007, and I have heard that there are problems with
placement of wrapped graphics in that version, but that doesn't change the
fact that if you're encountering the same problems with "2 pages per sheet"
that you did with "Book fold," then you might as well at least be trying to
solve them with "Book fold" instead of using a less satisfactory approach.

I've confirmed your bug. I'll pass it along -- I can't make any
promises for MS about when or whether there will be a fix, but I'll
make sure it gets into the bug database.

Thank you very much. It is a relief to me to know that
I'm not nuts or stupid. Now I have a $150+tax thing that
is useless to me. Can I return it?

Suzanne, you seem to have a problem that's not in Word.

Suzanne, I tried *everything* : three printers, different graphics, various
page layouts -- including Book fold and 2 pages -- .

Please. Don't scold me. I'm weeping already.

Default Word2007 bug: won't place picture correctly

Jay has confirmed the bug (something I cannot do since I don't have Word
2007 installed); as I said, it has been reported previously. FWIW, if you're
preparing a *booklet," see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...etPrinting.htm. The technique for
Word 97 will, I suspect still work in Word 2007 (albeit admittedly more
work).

If you're preparing a *book* (for self-publishing), then the printer will
almost certainly want each page on a separate sheet (even if they're
half-sheet sized). If you're preparing a *manuscript* (to be sent to a
publisher), then layout is not your responsibility.

I hate following up such a non-constructive conversation, but I am
a publisher. I send a finished manuscript to the printer. Nowadays
it will be in Postscript or Acrobat (remarkable how Postscript still
lives). Word is sometimes accepted, reluctantly and from the Mac.
I publish books, not booklets. No printer I've contacted recently will
accept "separate sheets." Camera-ready is dead, or should be -- how
well I remember it !

In my house, layout is definitely my responsibility -- and part of
my glory :-) ( but not on Word2007 )
