booklet design?

[Debbie S.]

Is there a way, in word, to create a document that is designed like a
booklet? For example, a program for an event or show. So the pages would be
formatted as landscape, but when you print it, the pages would automatically
paginate correctly (so let's say in a five page program--the first page would
have pages 1 and 5, the second page pages 2 and 4, and then pages 3 and I
guess the outside page?) Is this making sense? I've been told you used to be
able to do this in wordperfect. Is something similar possible in word?

Hope someone can help.
Thank you.

If you have Word 2002 or above, you can use "Book fold." For earlier
versions (or if you get fed up with "Book fold"), see

On the Margins tab of Page Setup, in the "Multiple pages" list. Did it occur
to you to search Help for "book fold" or "booklet"? You would have had the
information a lot faster, through the Help topic "Create a folded booklet."

 

[Debbie S.]

yes, of course that occurred to me. When i did search for that nothing came
up. Otherwise I would not have posted the question.

What version of Word do you have?
