Hello
I know this is very basic -creating a booklet, folding, and stapling.
I don't know what it is but my mind simply shuts down. I've spent
days, literally, working page by page, writing it out, labeling an so
forth -and the finished publication is wrong.
It's a sixty page booklet. I can't figure out the math. I duplex print
pages 1- 8. I fold it, and cut it. Now I have an 8 page booklet. I
examine the front cover and back page. That becomes number 1 (front) 4
(back). I see that page 6 follows the cover page. Here I can insert
the index. I see that the page before the last page is 7. However, if
I am careful ( I have to manually turn the paper to print the other
side) and print all 40 pages -I get completely lost. If I want let
says all my pictures to be in the very middle pages they end up
scattered here and there. If I wanted my recipes to paste through
pages 25-38 -those end up out of sequence.
I know most of humanity could figure this out. My mind is remarkable
in that in this simple act of printing and folding I can't create the
perfect arrangement. If I add 'page numbers' -for example -in my
mind's eye the last page should be 40. The next to the last page
should be 39. Publisher assigns last page 4 and second to last page 7.
So adding page number is anti productive. Can publisher figure out its
a booklet (side fold card -fold it in half -fold it again -8 pages)
and added pages 1-40? When I fold, and staple, I have this order
1,6,5,2,3,8,7,4 ....- so I'm asking can't publisher intuit -and
convert 1,6,5,2,3,8,7,4 into 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8! This is my predicument.
I can't figure out how to work the number sequences to get my pages in
the proper order.
Desparately seeking a solution. Thanks
