 Printing several choosen pages on one sheet - is it possible with VBA?

Hello,
In the past I have used Papyrus word processor on an Atari TT computer (no,
really! ;-)) and I liked one unique feature it had: when I had a big
document, I could use an option to print it in such a way, that on one A4
sheet of paper there were two actual pages printed. What's more, they were
printed in a cleverly sorted way, first and last page on the first sheet of
paper, second and last-but-one on the reverse side, third and
"third-one-from-the-end" ;-) on the second sheet etc. so that after printing
the whole document I could put the pages together, bind them in the middle
and I got something like a book. It was very useful for bigger documents. As
I couldn't find such an option in Word, I wonder if it was possible to make
it with VBA...? Would it?

Hi, Grzegorz,

Look into the several methods described here:

Booklet printing
Or how to print an A5 (A4 folded) booklet in Word; or an A4 (A3 folded) booklet

G'day Greggles,

Jonathon West covers printer tricks nicely - start exploring from the
url in my signature block below - his site is also available from the
Useful Links menu entry on the MVP site as well.

Essentially you are after changing the  Pages per sheet  setting on
the File > Print dialog.
