Prinitng a booklet from mailmerge

[Harvey B]

I am trying to print an output document from Word mailmerge it has multiple
sets of four A4 pages which I am trying to print as an A5 booklet. The sets
display correctly in the merged document but print out of order. How can I
correct this

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

When you print a document as a booklet, the order is determined by the
booklet requirements. So, say that your document has eight pages, the pages
will print as follows:

Front: 8 and 1
Back: 2 and 7
Front: 6 and 3
Back: 4 and 5

It's not clear from your description exactly how many A5 pages each booklet
should have, but when you choose "Book fold" in Page Setup, you should also
choose the appropriate number of "Sheets per booklet." I'm not entirely
clear what Word means by "sheets" here, but I would guess that since in the
above example, 8 pages would require 2 sheets, and the smallest number
offered is 4, probably by "sheets" Word actually means "pages."

Consequently, if by "four A4 pages" you mean eight A5 pages (two sheets, as
above), then you should choose "8."
