Booklet Printing in Word
Printing booklets is a common task that many users want to accomplish. The best way to create a booklet depends on the version of Word you are using. Fortunately, Word includes built-in capabilities to print booklets. Follow these steps to set up your document as a booklet:
- Display the Page Layout (Layout in Word 2016 or later versions) tab of the ribbon.
- Click the small icon at the bottom-right corner of the Page Setup group. Word displays the Page Setup dialog box.
- Make sure the Margins tab is displayed. (See Figure 1.)
- Using the Multiple Pages drop-down list, choose Book Fold. Word changes the page orientation to landscape, if necessary.
- In the Margins area of the dialog box, make sure the margins are set appropriately for your document.
- Click OK. The text in your document is reformatted to fit within the page layout you just specified.

When you print your document, you should choose to print two-sided if you have a printer that will automatically duplex. If not, you should choose the Manual Duplex check box in the Print dialog box, and then feed the pages through the printer twice.
If you prefer, you can also use a third-party program that produces booklets. A few programs suggested by WordTips readers include the following:
- ClickBook (http://www.bluesquirrel.com)
- FinePrint (http://www.fineprint.com)
Another alternative would be to save you document as a PDF and print the booklet from the PDF program. You may also be able to print booklets by using the capabilities of your printer. Some printers will handle booklet printing automatically. Refer to your printer manual or do some searching through the printer driver settings to find more information.
