Answer 2

Simple task? Maybe if you have Publisher.

You have no idea how many days and hours I spent on this one trying to emulate in Word, that which is automatically figured out in Publisher. I needed to create a two-sided booklet, so here’s what I did:

Your file must have a number of pages divisible by 4 (4, 8, 12, 16, etc ...) If it does not, add the appropriate number of pages at the end of file with Control+Return. You have 167 pages, so you will add one page to make 168 pages, which, divided by 4, is 42.

Use Control+home to go to the top of file.
cl File
cl Page Setup
Page size = landscape
Margins = top .4
bottom = .4
inside = 6."
outside = .5
click "Mirror margins.

You may have to adjust to accommodate the built-ins of your printer.

First, print the odd pages. Pg. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, etc. will probably print on the right side of the sheets.
Page 1 will be on the bottom, with page 83 on top - right side.

Here's the tricky part -- depending on how you have the options of your printer set up. Put the sheets back in the printer feeder. Depending on whether your printer prints with face side down, or up, set printer options to print in reverse order, and print the even pages.

Page 84 will print on the left, p. 1 on the right.
P. 82 will print on the left, p. 3 on the right.
P. 80 left, P. 5 right
P. 78 left, P. 7 right
and so on. You should end up with P. 2 on the left, with page 83 on the right.

Next, I had to Xerox this into a two-sided booklet.
I Xeroxed P. 84 – 1 and P. 83 - 2 as two-sided, and so on through the pile

When this is folded in half, it will open like a book and be 5 ½ x 8” in size.

Stapling will be difficult, if not impossible.

To help you visualize what you are doing, and this is how I figured it out, take a magazine or pamphlet which is stapled - remove the staple and examine it.

This would not have been so difficult if your document weren’t so long. I question whether or not you need to organize it this way.

Answer 3

Sorry Rab, but I can't get my head around this one. Logically, the first page is always on the right and the last is always left. So page 2 and 166 should already be in the right place, respectively. You could try adding a blank page before the first and after the last.
