atw: Re: Print-ready in Word

Hey? Apart from your unseemly dig at dear old Word (which is a paragraph
styles and page oriented word processor not an object oriented desktop
publishing tool as we have discussed so often on this list - people expect far
too much of Word, refusing to buy the publishing tool that they want and
insisting that a one size fits all tool will do - which, to its credit, it so often
does) isn't that pretty much the gist of what I said, Stuart B?

The settings that Dominic wants are available in the printer driver, not in
the application itself.

Word won't allow for crop marks but many print drivers will.

Goodnight.  It's Friday evening and my brain is going into meltdown.

I am not a software application.  I not am software a application.

Have a good weekend all.

If you just mean printing 2-up (Pages per sheet: 2), I don't that's what
Dominic is after. Dominic, did you want to print your A5 pages
booklet-style, so that, for example, the first A4 sheet would have p16 on
the left and p1 on the right? If so, see if your printer driver has any
options relating to "booklet" style. For example, in the Print dialog for
an IBM 1145, you click Properties then on the Print Style tab one of the
options is Booklet. You can specify the number of pages (e.g. 16), the
binding edge (left or right) and whether to print a fold mark.

BTW here are some other options:
