Formating Documents (difficult)

[Kampfzentrum]

To all, (appreciate all who take the time to read this)

OK, I'm want to print out small books from out of Microsoft Word, layout would be typical landscape on a 11"x8.75" piece of paper. However, I am trying to get the program to correlate them automatically, for instance:

If the book has 8 pages (not including cover) the outside page would be (on the outside) pages 1 and 8; the inside of that very page would be pages 2 and 7. Get it? the next page would be (outside) pages 3 and 6 and (inside) page 4 and 5.

This way I can just print the buzzards out and staple them together right down the middle and apply a cover - good to go.

I have to assume that Word has a way that automatically puts this together without having to manually prepare it, which would be - don't mind my French - a complete pain in the arse.

The function is available in newish versions of Word (2002/XP or 2003):

otherwise you need a few lines in VB Macro:

or use the old method of "linked textboxes":

I guess that you really need to thank google (and my smart using of the word "booklet" as search term )
