Booklet Printing problem with Office XP (Word 2002)

[Lenny Wintfeld]

Hi

I've got a problem printing a booklet ("book fold") document using Word
2002 and an HP DeskJet 930C.

Print preview looks good, but when I actually print the document using
the "manual duplex" option, the document pages print out on the wrong
sheets.

The document is currently 6 pages long including the blank inside front
cover.

I can make the document come out ok if I manually reverse the order of
all the printed sheets prior to the second run through the printer. By
reverse I simply mean: peel each sheet off the top of the "source" stack
of printed sheets and place it on the top of a "destination" pile.

Selecting print in reverse order in the print options dialog doesn't
help this problem.

I expect the booklet text to grow to 30 - 50 pages, but hesitate to do
all that typing, if it won't print out correctly!

Thanks in advance for any help.

If possible, please email a copy any replies to (e-mail address removed).

You can't create a booklet of six pages. You must have a multiple of four;
in order to accomplish that, add two blank pages to the end for the time
being.
