how do I create an A5 booklet with 20 pages (print on both sides)

[Cmitchell]

Need to print them double sided to create a true booklet. I OK with publisher but baffled how to do this. I've started to make it on "Blank Print Publication". All help much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

This is actually going to be quite hard, because you need to know in advance exactly how each printed page is going to sit on the paper it is printed out on.

If you were printing on A4 paper folded, this would result in the 'title' page being on the right hand side next to the final page - which would have to be blank if you'd only printed 20 pages of a5-sized copy.

I'm going to suggest that you make a mock-up of this booklet with A4 paper folded and stapled - number the pages - then unpick it and see where each page is on your sheets of paper.

This will be the order you want them in when you print.

Then you could make your booklet on A4 paper, landscape orientation, divided into 2 columns - but running text over from one page to its next neighbour will take a lot of planning.

thanks, already got the 20 page booklet - I'm copying it. Will try to do it when I'm less tired, just putting in the content into the publisher pages.

many thanks
