Have you tried the 'book fold' option in Word?

Do you know where it is in 2007?

When I click print and the printer box comes up, mine has a "finishing" tab, this has "print on 2 sides, manual" option.

Also on this "finishing" tab (under printer properties), it has "pages per sheet" so I guess you want to choose 2.

I've had mine not work too but I'm damned if I can tell you what forced it to play by my rules again. Switch it all off and then on again??

On the Page layout ribbon, at the bottom there's a bar that says 'Page set up' On the right hand of the bar is a little diagonal arow. Click on that & the Page set up dialogue box comes up. There's a Pages section (just under the Portrait/Landscape options)with a drop down menu for multiple page settings. Choose booklet & you get a second drop down where you can set the number of sheets per booklet.

They really don't want you to find it do they.....
