Printed booklets

Booklets can be printed on both sides of an 8.5-by-11-inch paper (or A4

size) using landscape orientation (horizontal instead of vertical). After

printing the pages, you can assemble and fold the sheets for each booklet.

You can also bind multiple sheets together with staples. After configuringthe Office Word 2007 page setup for booklets, you can create and add your

content and then click Print. Office Word 2007 automatically lays out the

pages in the correct order for printing. For example, if your booklet is four

pages (two pages on each side), Office Word 2007 places the first page on

the cover, the second and third pages on the inside, and the fourth page on

the back cover.

Office Word 2007 automatically lays out the pages of your booklet in thecorrect order.
