printig booklets page difficulties

[briancaap]

I have a microsoft publisher 2000 document booklet (folded set up with 10 pages of content. Initially it was 12 pages of content with two of the pages blank (Publisher likes to add four pages every time you insert a page). Because I should be able to remove the two blank pages and still have an even number of pages for my booklet, I did so and removed two pages (and not 4 pages as Publisher prompts me to do). However, upon printing, I still wind up with 2 extra pages (this time smack dab in the center of the document).

Is there a way around this? As I said, I have even pages and content for those pages; it just seems Publisher wants to always do things in 4 pages.

Do I need to purchase seperate im,position software to work around this?

Publisher must add pages in multiples of 4 for a booklet because that's what a booklet is...one page folded in half which then makes 4 smaller pages. Do you want to have a half a page that you can cut off at the end? That's a bit odd, but if you do, you need to make the last page and the 2nd last page blank. If you don't add in multiples of 4, your printer will still print out whole pages...if you want to control where the blanks are, add in multiples of 4 and determine which pages you want blank
