Printing a brochure
You can print a document with two pages on each side of a sheet of
paper, arranged so that when the printed pages are folded in half, the
pages are in the correct order to form a booklet or brochure.
To print a brochure on a single-sided printer:
1) Plan your document so it will look good when printed half size
(choose appropriate margins, font sizes, and so on). Click File >
Print. In the Print dialog box (Figure 144), click Properties and
be sure the printer is set to the same orientation (portrait or
landscape) as specified in the page setup for your document.
(Usually the orientation does not matter, but it does for
brochures.)
2) Click Options. In the Pages section of the Printer Options dialog
box (Figure 145), choose Brochure and Right pages. Click OK
twice to print the first side of each page.
3) Flip the pages and put them back into the printer, in the correct
orientation to print on the blank side. You may need to
experiment a bit to find out what the correct arrangement is for
your printer.
4) Click File > Print and check Properties to make sure the printer
setup is still correct.
