Printing in Publisher 2007

[tygers37]

I'm trying to print a 20 page booklet in Publisher 2007. it will only print
pages 1-6 and 15-20 even if I manually enter the page numbers under "Print
range" and then 1,20,3,18...ect. I never had any problems in Pub. 2000. Any
ideas/

Are you trying to print a small booklet, two booklets per sheet? If not,
printing the booklet will be straightforward. The least confusing way is to
print all 20 pages, re-stack, turn the stack over and print all 20 pages again.
You will have two booklets.

If you are printing a small booklet, cut the page in half first, setup a custom
size in your printer for 8.5 x 5.5. This will be simplified in the next service
pack I hope.

Yes, I'm trying to print a small booklet, two booklets per sheet.

If I change the printer to a custom size it does at least attempt to print
all 20 pages but it prints them in the middle of the page, not side by side
so that the sheets can be stacked up and folded to form the booklet.

Is there some other setting I'm missing? I sure miss Pub. 2000!

No, you aren't missing anything. As I wrote in the previous post, setup a custom
size in your printer, cut your stock first then print. You must also setup your
page for the custom size. Best place to do this in in the advanced setup on the
right. Type 4.25 width, 5.5 height. You should have the correct print preview if
you have created a custom size 8.5 x 5.5 in your printer.

If you still have 2000 you can install it into its own folder. I have most all
the Publisher versions on my computer. (Vista)

Thanks. It works now. The printer set was set for "One Page per Sheet". When
I changed it to "Booklet, side-fold" it worked fine.

Sure hope they get some of these printer issues fixed soon.

Thanks again for your help!!!

Doesn't sound like a printer issue - sounds like pilot error.

Rob,

I hope you can help me with my Publisher 2007 printing problem.

In Publisher 03, when I went to print, the page range included the total
pages in the publication. Furthermore, once a range was printed, it
remembered that range.

Now, with the 07 version, there is not a page total next to all pages and
there is never the page range from the previous print job to go by. What
happened?? Is this feature excluded in Publisher 07, or did our tech support
miss something when installing this upgrade? If this is a Publisher issue, is
there a fix for it now... or upcoming?

Since I work with training manuals put together in sections, the missing
page range features are truly missed! I can't seem to find any information on
this, and tech support has not a clue. Any help or info you could provide
would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks,
Marguerite

The entire print was changed from what we were use to seeing. Your tech support
didn't miss something. Some printing issues were addressed in the second service
pack but not the print setup screen.
The most difficult print task in my opinion is separate booklet pages.
