How To Create Booklets Using Microsoft Word 2010 Simple Clicks.
1. Click File,
then Print and at the bottom
of the list Click Page Setup.
2. In the Page Setup window, Click the Margins
tab. Then under Multiple pages Select Book fold from the
drop menu. Under Sheets either Select All or the exact
amount of pages, you plan on having. Be sure to set the gutter to Set
the Gutter to a small margin. The gutter determines the space
between your page content and the fold in the middle of the paper where you
would typically bind pages together.
3. Create your
booklet content, but keep in mind that content is going to print
differently than a regular document. Page 1 and 4 will be printed on the
same side, as Page 2 and 3 will be on the opposite side. Each page size shrinks
to the scale of half a regular page in landscape mode. The image below should
help illustrate.
4. When you are ready to print Click File then Print
and change the printing preference to the correct setting for your
printer. If your printer can automatically re-feed itself printed
documents, then use one of the Print on Both Sides settings, but if your
printer requires you to manually re-insert your paper Select Manually
Print on Both Sides.
Now you can continue adding pages
and design your booklet to be as large as you like! Don’t forget that the
larger you make your booklet, the larger you’ll need to make the Gutter so page
content doesn’t get lost in the cracks when you bind them together.
