booklet printing

[jim e.]

I have a 20-page booklet. I am trying to print to a brand-new Canon Color IR
5800 network printer/copier. It has all sorts of whistles and bells,
including booklet printing and saddle stitch stapling for booklets. But I
cannot find a way in Publisher or on the copier to make my booklet print out
correctly.

When I print, the best I get is still a mess. For example, I get the front
and back covers on one side of a sheet correctly. But on the reverse side, I
get pages 2 and 19 inverted (upside down and backwards). So page 19 shows up
on the reverse of the cover--upside down. And page 2 shows up on the reverse
of the rear cover--also upside down.

If I could get the 2nd 2-page spread to rotate 180 degrees I would be home
free!
I can find no way to rotate a two-page spread, nor even single pages--180
degrees so that they will print correctly. Help!

Do you have a check box in your printer setup that says something like "flip pages
up?" Clear it if you do.

Are you going to bind and staple a future publication? This article maybe useful.
Publications are not individually collated and stapled when you use the mail merge
feature to print to a duplex printer in Publisher 2003 or in Publisher 2002
