Booklet printing woes

[jlewis30]

I am trying to create a small booklet in word 2007. It is a User Guide
with Images and text, intended to be a folded and staple bound booklet
(so 81/2x11 folded). It is very simple.

First I used the Book Fold option in Page Layout. I finished the
booklet and printed it, but some of the graphics seemed to shift over
and print on the wrong page. I created an entirely NEW document and
used the "Multiple Pages" option just to get it to print my pages in
order, but still 2 to a page. 1 and 2 printed fine, 3 and 4 both
printed on the left half of the page, from there to page 10 all
printed fine.

I am stumped. I want to use the book fold feature so I do not have to
manually paginate. But even at that, I cannot get it to accurately
print 2 pages per sheet. What should I be checking, any ideas?

All I can tell you is that this problem has been reported numerous times; if
there is a solution, I don't remember seeing it, but ISTR that it could be
printer-driver-related. Do you see the same problem if you "print" to PDF?

I am having the same problem...it's printing the right pages but on top of
each other on one side of the paper. Is it in the printing or in the setup?
Something is telling my printer to print 2 pages on the same side of the
page....HELP!!!

I have printed to 3 different printers from two different computers.
And yes, the PDF comes out the same =(

I have re-created the document using the Custom Page size and scale it
to print two to a page. works well, but I will have to paginate
manually. I am a sad Panda.

I'll see what more I can find out about this problem; it may well be that
there is a solution I have overlooked.

Okay, I found several posts suggesting that if you save the document in Word
97-2003 format before attempting to print it, the problem is solved.
