Need Immediate Help with MSWord
 
Does anyone know how to make a document print the right and left pages the same without changing the page numbers?

This is for a book that is 5.5 x 8.5.

It is what a printer calls two books up.

If I understood you correctly.... try: File -> Page Set Up -> and then about half way down on the Margins Tab there should be a drop down menu labeled PAGES Multiple Pages. Select 2 pages per sheet.

You might have to flip from potrait to landscape - or vice versa to get the look you want. I'm looking at Office 2003 right now.

The problem is that the binder/printer is asking for two up printing but they want page 1 on both sides of the page. What Esther is asking for is pre press layout within MS Word that will allow her to have 5.5 x 8.5 page 1 appear twice on a landscape 8.5 x 11 page. The printer wants to be able to run a 166 page book two up so they can then cut and bind two books with a single print run.

I am seeing that this is not commonly done in MS Word. It usually is done in Quark Express which I own but do not have installed or in Adobe InDesign or Pagemaker which I own but do not have installed.

Thanks for your input. Already tried that and it doesn't work.

Any other ideas?

Pagemaker is for newsletters and broshures according to what I just read.

Quark is suppose to work.

You have all the tools man what are you waiting on? :)

It appears from all my researching thus far, that MSWord is not capable of printing a book to a printers specs.

and publisher, but the question is what file format do they want?

Maybe there is an add on at Microsoft, look for one for packing it for a printer

They want the one I don't have. :)

All I can tell you is they want a 8.5 by 11 landscape divided into left side and right side to read the same.

In doing this I can not allow the page numbers to change from what it is.

Example left side and right side should both me page number 1.
Next sheet should be page 2 etc.

What do you mean packing it for a printer?
