How to Create a Booklet in Microsoft Word 

This was super duper helpful in helping me create my first book...thank you so much

Sir, Thank you for the very informative video and your clear, no-nonsense explanation. May I add that in case you choose the page-fold option, you should also ensure that you choose the "print on both sides> Flip pages on short edge" option. If you choose the "Flip on long edge" option, your text will get printed upside down on alternate pages.

thank you! i'm trying to make a journal book just for myself and maybe friend so this is helpfull :)

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for this. I've been sitting with this for 2 days now, looking at online help, videos, you name it. And still all of them ended up in a poor result. Now FINALLY I got my printer to print it out the way I wanted it to. Thank you yet again. This goes into my favourites here on RU-vid.

what if the page is more than 100? please make a short video with sample print. Thank you so much for your video.

so it still means creating the document with mixed pages (first,last...second, secondlast) how can you take a document unchanged and print it in this booklet format? if its got 100 pages then youd have to manually alter every pages appearance in the document

Do we have to press "Print on both side"?

THANK YOU TANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! I really needed this for a book I was making in class!!! I WAS STUCK UNTIL I SAW THIS VIDEO!!!! YOU EARNED YOURSELF A SUBSCRIBER!!!

ThankYOU for this informative tutorial. I’m trying to surprise my mother at her 80th birthday party by distributing a printed booklet of one of her short stories and I couldn’t quite remember how to print the confounded thing.

Need to make booklets for old women at school for a task wish me luck!👊🏾🤪

Thank you, now I can write my own book!

How do you make it not back to back? Thanks!

aren't page 1 and 4 the wrong way round?

Thank you for this very helpful tutorial!

Thank you so much for your help.

VERY HELPFUL! THANK YOU!

This is so helpful thank you! Quick question: for pages 1 and 4, would those be considered the outside of the booklet? Meaning this booklet is one page (technically) with print on the front and back and a fold down the middle?

Thank you very much for this. I consider your way the right way, and just now I watched 2 wrong ways on youtube. Even Microsoft have a wrong template for a A5 folder. In your way you will be able to make a printable folder and a readable pdf-file to be read from screen from the same Word document without changing the layout. And you make no scalling of pages, so your used font sizes becomes correct. :)

Wow! Thank you. Great video.

Very helpful. Thanks mate

Solved my problem!! Thank you - simple, straightforward, easy to follow: bueno!

Exactly what I needed thank you

Very helpful 🙌🏽

Awesome vid! Great explanation! ❤️

For my wedding I used Create Booklet for Mac and it really saved us...

I hope you can help me. I see you use cm, but my word has " and I was wondering what would that be in " form?

Very helpful. Thanks!

Worked perfectly

Also select print both sides, flip pages on short edge.

Hi, I can see how this works for printing on the pages 1,2,3 & 4 but I also want to print a front and back cover. So I'm just using 2 sheets of A4 paper which when folded into the booklet will give me 8 areas to print on. The front cover of the booklet being page 1 and so on. You didn't explain how to print on these pages....unless it's just me being thick......a distinct possibility! Could you help please.

Very helpful

I have written most of my Book, but maybe that is The reason or i have Word 2016 but this is 2013 that is a problem but I don't have "Page Setup" settings.

When I print mine out, it only prints on the left side of the page. I never prints on the right side. Page 1 is printed on the left, then the back is printed (which is page 2, printed right behind the previous printed side). The next sheet comes and prints page 3, and then page 4 is printed right behind it. Nothing is printed on the other half of the sheet. What did I do wrong?

I like the way you pronounce things choose aiii forr paiijj...increase the spice :D

Thank you lots. Very helpful :)

Omg. Thank you!!!

Good sharing. Thank you.

Thank you sir Nice explanation sir

Very helpful thank you

Thank you Sir!

How do I put pages??

Suppose you would normally use font size 12, do you need to set it to 24 for the text in order to be equally legible if you want to make an A5 booklet? Or does Word automatically double the font?

Yay thank you so much

How will i make page 2 & 3 into single page

Hello CG, whats the size of mini booklet? Many thanks..

Hey! Could someone tell me if all these pages will be on 1 or 2 pieces of paper

I have a question, so if it's in book format, does the 1st and last page on the same page? In your video, page 1 and 4 are on the same page, right? Your video helped me understand it quite a bit but I'm still confused. I'm printing a 10-page booklet that has 10 A5 pages and 5 A4. I'm sorry if this doesn't make much sense, but it would really help if you could reply ASAP.

How does it look when printed

Very helpful indeed.

very not helpful, do not recommend if ur on Ipad!

Greetings. I am using word ver 16. After setting it to bookfold all pages, I was not able to reproduce the 3:04. Also it does not shift to landscape automatically. In the end, my print preview still shows individual pages. Did I miss anything?

Yup sound like Ben phillips

Very nice

How do you print only certain pages, i.e., pp. 1-3, etc.?

I need to print my essay in book form so I’ll try this!

will the microsoft booklet maker automatically print both side of each pages and arrange them in order?

thank you sir

Thanks foran the video i learnt a lot but what I didn't understand is how you made those for page

Hi great clip but i want to do A5 invoice booklet from A4 how to i do this as i can not get them to match up when i print and cut the paper. what am i doing wrong

This is how it's gonna come out in printewy and let us go back to Noemel vyue.

okay, now this is epic

Have tried without success to print a an 8 page CD with the standard size of 4.75 x 4.75 inches. When I try to set the page to those sizes it informs me that the smallest size I can set is 5 x 5 inches. (a) am I doing something wrong or (b) if not, does anyone know how to achieve this in Word 2007. Otherwise, this tutorial is is eezy peezy to follow. Congrats.

In word, your page 1 showed on left side. But it should be on the right side in actual. Hote to solve that?

If im wanting it to be an A5 booklet, should I select A5 as the page size?

Not working for ms word 2010?

*i am printing in another life bokuaka yes* *we love crying*

Show a sample of what the finish product looks like.

If you want to do this on a Mac (I'm using the most recent version in 2019), go to File>Page Set up. Toggle "Page Attributes" at the top of the box to "Microsoft Word" and click on "Margins". There you will see the Pages/Multiple Pages options. Toggle to "Bookfold"

Thank you!

This is very helpful. Thanks for the tutorial! :)

please do you have to do this or does it print out automically the correct way 2016 so many people contradict i donot understand please explain in full do you have to do the page order 4,1 2,3 etc.

kinda a hard video to follow.

Hello, I want to soft bound my downloaded ebooks, may i ask what settings of booklet form in word is it? Like margins and gutter etc.? Thanks for the video tutorial..

Wow I did Microsoft Word and went to a field trip to Microsoft garage!!!

is it possible that the margin will only be on the left side of the paper for all pages so that the pages won’t be back to back?

Thank you so much for this, so for a 8 page booklet its 2 a4 papers

How do we fix it so that page 1 and page 2 appear next to each other ....

Very helpful. Thanks

Thank you for this. I was wondering why everything got wonky when I hit page fold.

Why do you pronounce your words like that? Is your voice broken?

very helpful, but I have the problem that the pages don't move to for example 1-4. It stays as page 1-2 and then 3-4 and so on, when I'm tyring to print it.

speed: 1.5x thank me later

What would the order for an 8 page booklet be?

I don't get this Page Setup option when I select Print. I also don't have the Page Setup dialog launch icon on the toolbar. I'm using a MacBook Air. Any other suggestions?

How do I achieve this if I use iOS Microsoft word?

Thank you for explaining this so well. I have a question though. Do you have to have the full paid version of MS to be able to do this? I currently have what is free and none of these options appear. Thank you!

Thank you, this video explained a lot. However, I'm still having problems. Are you aware of any problems when trying to produce a booklet whose pages are not divisible by 4, that what I'm trying to do? My print preview shows the document as it was composed, not as it will be printed, plus it won't allow me to select the print one side only so that I may manually print the other side of the page. Hey ho, I'll continue scratching my head while trying to figure it out.

Would you have a video by any chance how to do this using Google slides? A friend and mine are working together to make booklets and we are having trouble making it together as we need to send the file back and forth.

british language is so fancy

I need to do this for my class my teacher wants me to make something abt much ado abt nothing

hey is your last name murray if it is my last name is murray also

How would this look if you saved this a a pdf?

please help me when I open to word (my pc)in other pc articles and shapes are slipping

But why do your pages go 1423 in normal view? Am I supposed to write my book in a retrospective lol?

Oh bloody hell. I spent ages doing it manually 😂😂it was so difficult to do but now I found this after 😂

So what is the final size of this booklet? A4?
