Booklet Printing - Update

In a post back in 2024 I shared my frustration with you that Booklet Printing had seemingly disappeared from MS Word and at the time I wasn't sure who to blame until the finger pointed at Microsoft as the culprits. 

In that post I shared a variety of work arounds on how to print in booklet format again, none of them very elegant. 

Well either Microsoft have realised the error of their ways or they hid it from view but booklet printing is back...

Tucked away in the 'Pages per Sheet' option in the Print Dialogue box at the bottom of the list 'Print As Booklet' is there! 

Easy for Mac users then!! 

Windows users it's a little more involved, but I fount this support page:

And yes it worked:

As with any change to your workflow I strongly suggest that you experiment by just printing say the first 8 pages to check that the results are as you expect them to be, rather than printing the whole file and then discovering that printed results are only worthy of the recycling bin. Lots of wasted paper and ink/toner.
