Booklet Printing

[dick.roadnight]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Processor: Intel

I have 3 documents (4, 8 and 32 pages) that I have printed in word XP for years without problems, but I cannot get booklet printing in office for mac to work.

There is a printing sub-menu for booklet printing, but all options are greyed - does this mean that the option has not been implemented?

I even tried it with the file/project gallery/Marketing/catalogs/booklet catalog document...

This document seems to be a workaround to get round not having a booklet printing facility that auto-repaginates - is this so?

There is a freeware workaround (CocoaBooklet) that prints from pdf files, but it is not Snow Leopard compatible.

I think that when I got booklet printing to work from Word XP, I did it through the HP printer driver (on two different printers, A3 folded to A4, and A4 folded to A5), but I cannot find the full print dialog box for the HP/mac driver: on XP, you had to use the official HP drivers, not the Microsoft ones, but HP do not publish drivers for Macs, and the Mac HP drivers seem not to have the required feature.

Thanks in anticipation

Hi Dick:

You have answered all your own questions, I am afraid.

Mac Word does not have (and never has had) "Booklet Printing" available as a
function.

You could add the CreateBooklet service...

Thanks, I found it and it works... I could not find it with the link you gave me, but this link

<http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/createbooklet.html>

Works,

....or you can navigate to it: www.Apple.com / downloads / automator / create booklet

Interesting! I just clicked the link I sent, and it opened straight up to a
"download here" page.

But yes, the Apple link you found is the same thing from the Apple server
