Mass Booklet

GraciousGeenie

I have done a 20 page Wedding Mass Booklet on MS Word.

I have stumbled at the final hurdle and now can't seem to competently print the thing out.

Can I ask advice please??

What settings should I use to print this out in booklet format?
What page prints on the back of what page?

Thanks!!

I suggest what you do is print out all pages first as "2 per page". Then cut up each A4 page into the 2 individual pages and lay out the booklet in the order it should be as the finished product.

Now scribble page numbers onto each page in the booklet format. Start with the middle ones, say it's about 8-10 pages, well your middle page might be page 5 & 6 so you print out page 5 & 6 first as "2 per page". Then you look to see what's on the back of 5 & 6 and it's 4 & 7 so you print them out together next on the back of 5 & 6, and so on. It'll take a couple of runs to get it right, you'll need to figure out too how you need to feed the printer paper in after doing one side.

It took me a few days to figure out how to print our mass booklet

You should be able to select properties from your print menu and select booklet format...It should then print the first pages and advise you of how to replace the paper in the printer to finish printing the other side.

if you google mass booklet template, you will get loads of frees ones, which will do the work for you.

i would give the link to the one we used but we use linux which is not compatible with mircosoft:)

Use a printer with a duplex function. ie prints on both sides of the page.

In page layout on Word 2010 click on the little box in the bottom corner of the page layout header.
Where it says multiple pages use the "Book Fold" setting. It should automatically go to landscape orientation.

Preview you document as it might have upset some of your spacings and try it out first on cheap paper.
