Printing Booklets In Word How To Print An

Reply Andrew Needed a quick Mock Up sample of a childrens story book.

Before you get booklet fever and go on a creative spree, first we need to set up the page layout.

Using booklet mode, Word 2010 will essentially shrink each page like its folded in half.

Lets get started How-To Create Booklets Using Microsoft Word 2010 1.

Click File, then Print and at the bottom of the list Click Page Setup.

Under Sheets either Select All or the exact amount of pages, you plan on having.

Be sure to set the gutter to Set the Gutter to a small margin.

The gutter determines the space between your page content and the fold in the middle of the paper where you would typically bind pages together.

Create your booklet content, but keep in mind that content is going to print differently than a regular document.

Page 1 and 4 will be printed on the same side, as Page 2 and 3 will be on the opposite side.

Each page size shrinks to the scale of half a regular page in landscape mode.

The image below should help illustrate.

When you are ready to print Click File then Print and change the printing preference to the correct setting for your printer.

If your printer can automatically re-feed itself printed documents, then use one of the Print on Both Sides settings, but if your printer requires you to manually re-insert your paper Select Manually Print on Both Sides.

Now you can continue adding pages and design your booklet to be as large as you like Dont forget that the larger you make your booklet, the larger youll need to make the Gutter so page content doesnt get lost in the cracks when you bind them together.

Thanks Reply RockFox I found several tips on how to print an 8 page booklet but Austins is by far the best.

I created my booklet and printed it correctly on a manual printer on the first try.

Ive used Word since Windows 95 and I never knew if you used the manual option for printing two sided that Word would prompt you to print the reverse side.
