Double Sided Printing

[Laurie]

I am developing a brochure that is two fold, double sided
and multiple pages (like a magazine). When I look at
this on the screen, it is difficult to determine what the
brochure will look like printed out. Does publisher have
a way to see this as it will be printed?

If you are using Microsoft Publisher 2002 or newer, there is a print
preview. If you have a printer driver that supports print preview, such as
the highly successful HP brand printers, you might want to try that.

When printed and folded, it will look exactly like it looks on screen.
To duplex, print every second page on the back of the page before it.
Then arrange in a pile so that:
The top of the stack looks like
Page n | Page 1

And the bottom of the stack looks like:
Page (n/2) | Page (n/2) + 1

Where n is the number of pages in your publication
If you pinch along the fold line, you should be able to flick through your
publication and all the pages should be in the correct order.
You can then staple or stitch along the centreline
