Printing Booklets

[nancy]

Publisher 2002 - I can't seem to find a way to send ONE
spread page in booklet format to the printer. E.g., in a
10-page booklet, I want to print just the 3-8 spread
page. On screen are, of course, page 2 and page 3.
Publisher prints both spread pages 2-9 and 3-8. Is there
any way to do this? I've tried this, BTW, with four
different printers by now: two HP deskjets, a Ricoh
Aficio CL7000 laser and a Ricoh Priport JP8500. It's NOT
in the printer settings!

In view, clear two page spread, with page 3 on the screen, print, current page, click
"no".

So simple! Thank you!

Mary,
I'm looking to do something similar. I need to be able to print just the odd
pages, or even.

Here's what happens. I get for example

Booklet format, with each single letter piece of paper holding two pages. I
want to print the booklet so that the odd pieces of paper can be printed
first, flipped over and then fed through for the even ones...
Any clues?
Thanks.
Pages: 10, 1
Pages 2, 9
Pages 3,8

It works the same way as above. With page 1 on the screen, print, click no. Turn the
page over, with page 2 on the screen, print click no. Just remember to clear the two
page spread in the view menu. The center page is trickier. If you click no you will
have 5 and 6 side by side, you will have to turn the page over and repeat the
process, you will have two copies. If you click yes the pages will end up not back to
back.

Mary,
Maybe I'm missing something, I'm using Office 2003 and I don't see how this
is going to work easily.

What I have been doing is copying and pasting into a separate Pub file which
is formatted to print odd -even, print to a PDF and then print Odd / even.
This is way too much work when you have to run off 100 of these things...

Is there some other solution for printing a booklet? Can it be imported into
Word?

 

[Mary Sauer]

Well Scott, you didn't say you had a hundred. So print one hundred page 1 and then
turn it over and print one hundred page 2. Buy a duplex unit... There is no easy way
to do anything without the correct equipment, just workarounds. Doing it the hard way
will build character and you will only have to print fifty copies of page 5.
The simplest way is to increase/decrease the booklet to a multiple of 4, ie 8 pages
or 12 pages.

Scott have you heard of a thing called a 'photocopier'?
We have them in modern countries to replicate paper copies.
Suggest you use one of them if you can locate one.

Thanks Pal, I feel awash in the presence of true genius.

Mary,
Thanks for your advice.
As a past MVP, I can say with all honesty, that I'm truly disappointed in
your response. I don't need character, I need a program that is a bit better
in it's design.
I guess there really IS a reason that people use Quark.
I thank you for your time and courteous "advice".

Quark probably pops up messages for you to ignore also.
Pub clearly tells you to work in multiples of 4 and if you think for a
moment there is no other way unless you print parts of pages.
Then if you print xx copies of page 1 then 3 then 5 etc. till you get to
the middle then you can turn them over and print xx copies of page 2
then 4 then 6 etc. till you get to the middle and you should be
finished.
Just set up a booklet with a multiple of 4 pages and try a copy or 2.

When asked do you want to print a seperate booklet, answer NO.

I didn't mean to be flip and I am sorry if I offended you.

JohnG ,
Thanks,
It seems to be a going conclusion that I'm pringing a publication with
non-multuples of 4 (which I am not, mine has 12 pages). I appreciate your
comment.

You did give an example with page 10 and page 1 together and that
implies a 10 page book I think?
Also you introduced a stray by telling us you were using Office 2003 but
since Publisher is not tied to Office you could have been using
Publisher 95.
Sorry to be picky but solving a problem with wrong clues is not always
easy.
