Booklet printing with 2 pages/sheet done by printer

N

Norm Dresner

In our company, I'm using Word 2000 at various locations with WinXP, Win2K,
and Win98SE.

I have an HP2200d which does automatic duplexing. It can also print 2,4,...
pages on one side of a sheet of paper. [BTW, the ZOOM setting in the Print
panel doesn't work for this, I have to use the Printer Options setting. Is
this "normal"?]

When I do 2-sided, 2-up printing, the pages come out
Front 1 2 5 6 9 10
Back 3 4 7 8 11 12
and if the paper is cut in half, I'll get 1 backed by 3, 2 by 4, ...

What I want is 1 backed by 2, 2 by 4, ...

Is there any way to do this natively in Word without a macro?

Can I do it with a macro?

Do I need some 3rd party software?

Thanks
Norm

If you upgrade to Word 2002, you can use the "Book fold" feature to create
folded booklets. Meanwhile, see
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Formatting/BookletPrinting.htm

You can still do this manually by printing "2 pages per sheet" from Word,
entering the pages as needed (1,2,4,3, etc.)
