To print Over the Edge in newsletter format

In a folded booklet or newsletter, each set of two pages is printed on one side of a sheet of paper. For example, as shown in the following picture, pages 1 and 4 are printed on one side and pages 2 and 3 are printed on the other side.

When you fold the paper, the publication opens as a book does.

How you print the newsletter depends on what features your printer supports.

Follow the printer's instructions for setting up duplex printing. Set the printer for Landscape page orientation and so the page flips on the short edge. (You can usually find these options by clicking Properties in the Print dialog box.) This puts the publication pages in the right order when you fold the printed sheets.

Print each two-page set on one side of a separate sheet of paper. For example, if you print an eight-page folded booklet, you have four sheets of printed paper with the following pages on them:

• Pages 8 and 1 (8 appears on the left half of the sheet and 1 on the right half)
• Pages 2 and 7 (2 on the left and 7 on the right)
• Pages 6 and 3 (6 on the left and 3 on the right)
• Pages 4 and 5 (4 on the left and 5 on the right)

To assemble the booklet:

1. Copy pages 8 and 1 onto one sheet of paper.
2. Copy pages 2 and 7 onto the back of that same sheet.
3. Copy pages 6 and 3 onto a new sheet of paper.
4. Copy pages 4 and 5 onto the back of that same sheet.
