If your printer is automatically printing double sided, you need to
change the options for the duplexer in your printer driver to from
"booklet" to "tablet" (or vice-versa) or "long-edge" to "short-edge" (or
vice-versa), or toggle the check box marked "flip pages up".

If you are printing double-sided by hand, simply rotate the paper
through 180° before reinserting it into the printer.

Ed -
I am trying to print a fold booklet for the first time on a double side
enabled printer as well. the first pages print fine, then the backside
prints upside down. I have tried all sorts of combinations of clicking the
rotate 180*, flip short edge and 'double sided- flip pages up' to no avail.
Is there any way to get live phone support with someone today? Or is there a
way to print page 1 & 8 separate from 2 & 7, 3&6, 4&5 and I can just feed
them in to print on the backside? I can do that, but don't know how to get
Publisher to just print page 1 & 8 together.

Are you auto or manual duplexing?

Is there any way to get live phone support with someone today?

a) This is peer-to-peer support. All the answers you get here (including
from me) are from users like yourself. We do not give out our phone
numbers for obvious reasons, and we prefer to answer in public so
everyone can benefit from the answers.

b) This is (almost certainly) an issue with your printer driver's setup,
so there's not much that Microsoft phone support could do anyway.
You'd need to contact your printer manufacturer.

Publisher 2003 and earlier: File > Print > From page 1 to 1 > OK > Print
as separate booklet = no.
Publisher 2007: File > Print > Pages 8,1
