How to do page numbering for A5 booklets?
Jurgen Appelo
Is there a macro that does the numbering of A5-type booklets for me?
(A4 pages are printed in landscape and folded in half, so they have
an A5-size. But figuring out the right numbers on these pages is very
tricky.)
Thanksalot!

Hi Jurgen,
This is an extract from this weeks edition of Woody's Office Watch. from
the description of 2 x 4, it is likely that it will do what you are after.

There are versions of WOPR available for all releases of

A few weeks ago I told you about Enveloper, the original
WOPR component and still its most popular feature. (If you
print envelopes in Word, you gotta try Enveloper.)
This week, I'd like to bend your electronic ear for a few
moments and tell you about 2 X 4, another "classic" WOPR
component, updated and improved for WOPR 97.
WOPR Two By Four" or 2x4 is a Word 97 add-in with several
multi-page printing features worth crowing about. WOPR 2x4
has Duplex, 2Up, 4Up, Klone, TriFold Pamphlet, Greeting
Cards, Thumbnails and Booklet printing. The multi-path
printing options in 2x4 can save you reams of paper and
there's even an option to save toner. You can save 25, 50
or 75 percent of the toner a regular document page would
require.
Unlike a Wizard where you would have to start from scratch
with a blank document and compose your thoughts as you go
along, TwoByFour always works with an existing document
that you have already written. You can format the pages of
a Booklet exactly as you want them to look in the finished
version and 2x4 will faithfully reproduce your design or
you can start with a raw document and let 2x4 handle all
the tricks for you. Unlike other products on the market
which just grab your pages and shrink them down piecemeal
like a photocopier, 2x4 will deal with each element
individually. So you can have it shrink your tables to half
size but leave your graphics alone or only shrink them by a
third. You can have it change the fontsizes to anything you
like and fix the spacing to match. It's all under your
control. Why pay for a standalone product that doesn't give
you anything like this level of control when you can have
it all included in your WOPR bundle!
If 2x4 needs to reformat something, 2x4 will make a
temporary copy of your original, shuffle things around, and
then delete the temporary copy when everything has been
printed. The beauty of this approach is that 2x4 never
touches your original document (in other words, no
worries).
The 2x4 add-in began as a simple duplex-printing macro to
obviate the need for an expensive Duplex printer then over
time as people requested more and more features it has
evolved into what you see today. (If there's anything you'd
like to see included in 2x4, just drop eil...@wopr.com a
line. Don't be bashful.)

You can generate separate page numbers using Formula field:
1. switch to header/footer and position the cursor where you want to
insert the odd page number.
2. press CTRL + F9. A (shaded) pair of brackets {} should appear.
Theses brackets will enclose the field code we're gonna create. Insert
= (equal sign)
3. press CTRL + F9 again and insert "PAGE" (without quotes) inside the
inner pair of brackets
4. move cursor to the right of the inner closing bracket } and type
"*2-1" (without qoutes). The shaded text should read like:
{ = { PAGE } * 2 - 1 }
5. press ALT + F9 to switch field codes view off and F9 to update the
result of the field (you have just inserted). A page number should
appear.
6. move cursor to the position where you want to insert the even page
number, and repeat the above procedure, but omitting "-1" from the
code:
{ = { PAGE } * 2 }
Hope this helps (mail me if you encounter any problem)
