Print booklet using MS word

 MS word has different names for bookbinding terms. Booklet in MS word is the same thing as "signature", the more common name in bookbinding industry.

 Each sheet of papaer contains 4 pages. A signature can have mulitple sheets of paper. The above picture depicts a signature composed of 2 sheets of paper.

Unfortunaely, MS word has even different names for "page" as well. It just calls a page "sheet".

Here are the steps to setup MS work to print out signatures.

1 Go to [Page Setup]

 This window can be brought up by [Layout], [Margins], [Custom Margins...].

In [Pages] section, for [Multiple pages] select "Bookfold", for [Sheets per booklet] select the pages in a single signature.

As every paper has a fixed 4 pages, so the pages you can select must be muliples of 4. Here we select 8, to reflect the same settings as the picture mentioned earlier.

2 Print settings

Go to [Print] window, in [Pages] section, select "Flip pages on short edage".

Printing this signature is good to go now.
