Publisher 2003 Printing Issue

[Mark]

Hi,

My client has Office 2003 SP3 installed under WinXP SP2. They are having
trouble with printing a newsletter from Publisher.

The publication is an 8-page newsletter in "booklet" form. Each page is 8
1/2 by 11.

The printer is a Konica copier with large-format (11x17) and duplex
capabilities.

Everything works fine when the user prints the entire booklet to the
printer. They get one booklet ready to fold. One sheet of paper has pages 1,
2, 7, and 8. The "inside" sheet has pages 2, 3, 4., and 5.

However, the user needs to be able to print several hundred copies of each
sheet individually. (The mailing house does the collating, stapling, and
folding.)

So far I have been unable to figure out how to tell Publisher to print pages
1, 2, 7, and 8 in duplex form (1 and 8 on one side, 2 and 7 on the other
side). The Print dialog only has a From and To option, not the box like Word
where you can type the list of pages.

How can the user print one sheet at a time for this newsletter?

Thank you,

Mark

In the print range type from 1 to: 2 in the pages. Click no to the query.

Thanks Mary! So I tell it to print 1-2 if I want 1,8,2,7, and 3-4 if I want
3,6,4,5. Kind of makes sense.

It looks good in a remote test; I'll have to try it next week with the
printer.

Is this any easier/clearer in Publisher 2007?

No it is not any clearer in 2007. My problem with 2007 is the inside sequences
in the booklet setup.

Okay thanks. We did this in 2003 on-site and it worked great. Thanks again
for your help,
