Want to Bind & Publish own Book

[Aurelius]

I would like to be able to print the pages for a book I am writing for myself
and bind it the old fashion way. Can I print in clusters of "leaves" say 14
or 20 pages for a book that will be 300 pages or so? I will be hand sewing
the leaves and doing my own leather binding. I don't want to pay a 3rd party
to print and bind the book when I can do it myself.

How do I set publisher up to do this without manually doing this. It would
be in booklet form, if you will where it would need to print page 1 & 20 on
one side of the page and 2 & 19 on the other - this would be the first
printed page. The second printed page would be 3 & 18 on one side of the
page and 4 & 17 on the other - and so on... The next cluster of leaf would
be page 21 & 40 on one side of the page and 22 & 39 on the next... Each page
would be folded in have and "stacked" inside each other and sewed after each
cluster was complete these would be sewn together and bound to make a book.

Now what if I printed 4 pages per side fo the paper and and folded these
pages to make my book? Could I do this?

Thanks,

Mark

If you select booklet in page setup, Publisher will correctly present your pages
on your screen and print in the pages in the correct order.

The only way I can see to set your booklet up is to divide the publication into
2 parts. Pages 1 through 20 for one publication, pages 21 through 40 for the
next.

If you are printing 4 pages at a time rather than 20 pages, turn off two-page
spread, print current page, click no to the query. Go to page 2, turn the page
over, repeat.

The only way I can see to set your booklet up is to divide the publication into
2 parts. Pages 1 through 20 for one publication, pages 21 through 40 for the
next.

This is the exact reason for the question "Print as separate booklet?"

File > Print > 1 to 20 > Print as separate booklet = Yes.

Repeat for 21 to 40. Duplex carefully manually or using a PDF file, or a
duplex module.
