Create a folded booklet or newsletter

When you choose Book Fold for your page setup, Microsoft Publisher prints two pages on a sheet of paper. When you fold the paper, it opens as a book does. This option is intended for publications that have more than two pages.

Lay out a publication as a folded booklet or newsletter

1. On the File menu, click Page Setup.
2. Click the Layout tab.
3. Under Publication type, select booklet.
4. Select any other options you want.

Print a folded booklet or newsletter

1. Make sure that the number of pages in the publication is a multiple of four. You might need to add pages to the end of the publication.
2. On the File menu, click Print.
3. Click Advanced Print Settings.
4. Click the Publication Options tab.
5. If the publication’s pages are smaller than the folded paper, select the Crop marks box (under Printer's marks).
6. Select any other options you want.

Assemble a folded booklet or newsletter

Publisher prints the first and last pages on one sheet of paper, the second and next-to-last on another sheet, and so on. The pages are printed this way so that when you photocopy them back to back and then staple (or bind) them together, they will be in the right order.

1. Make sure the number of pages in the publication is a multiple of four. You might need to add pages to the end of the publication.
2. On the File menu, click Print.
3. If your publication is smaller than the folded paper, select the Print Crop Marks box, and then print the publication.
4. After you print the publication, photocopy pages 1 and 8. These are the cover pages, so if you’re using a heavier stock for them, use it here.
5. Photocopy pages 2 and 7 (inside front and back cover pages) onto the back of pages 1 and 8.
6. Photocopy pages 4 and 5.
7. Photocopy pages 6 and 3 onto the back of 4 and 5.
8. Collate and fold the pages. Staple or stitch them in the fold. Trim the pages, if necessary.
