Bookfold Printing

[Jill]

Using Word 2003 …

I have a 24 page bookfold document. Is there any way to print just one
single sheet of paper (for example, page 1/page 24) rather than the entire
document?

The easiest way to do this is to temporarily change the "Multiple pages"
setting from "Book fold" to "2 pages per sheet." Although this should not
affect your layout at all, you may want to do this on a copy of the
document. Then, in the Pages box in the Print dialog, enter "24,1."

In theory, whenever you enter a single page number of a "Book fold" document
in the Pages range, you should get that page, along with its partner, on one
sheet, plus another sheet with the pages that would be on the reverse side
(2 and 23). In practice, this very rarely happens.

You can also select an area that you want printed and then Ctl+P and choose
'Selection' to print. That lets you print more or less than a page if you
need.

Not what she's asking for, and Selection doesn't include header or footer.
