How To Create Printable Booklets in Microsoft Word

Here’s the quick guide on how to do it.

Note: These screenshots are from Word 2010 but it’s the exact same process in 2013.

In the Page Setup screen under Pages, change multiple pages to Book fold from the dropdown.

You might also want to change the Gutter setting under Margins from 0 to 1.

Otherwise, there is a chance words will get jumbled in the binding or crease of your booklet.

Also, after selecting Book Fold Word automatically changes to Landscape Orientation.

Here we are just making a simple test booklet, added a header, andpage numbersfor the footer.

Or, if it supports manual duplex printing, you’re free to select that option as well.

Where in our case it looks like it might be time for a printer upgrade?
