Subject:printing odd page sequences in Word From:Eric Brown <eric_brown -at- SFU -dot- CA> Date:Thu, 16 May 1996 08:20:19 -0800
Can anyone help with this oddball request from a client? They're a very
low-budget operation; their manuals to date are printed in thie following
manner:
The page size is exactly half a legal-size page. They print two pages per
legal page, sideway, on a laser printer, then photocopy two-sided, then
slice the stack down the middle and bind with a plastic spiral coil.
What this comes down to is that they want to print odd sets of facing
pages; if the book were 8 pages, say, they'd want to print page 1 and 8 on
one legal page, then 2 and 7 and so on.
Apparently thay can do this with WordPerfect which they've used up 'til
now. I've just finished a book for them using Word, with the previous
agreement that they'd Docutech the result, and on the delivery date this
question arose.
Can Word do this kind of printing? Anyone know how?
Thanks all.
