    A6 Booklet - How To ?

    Morning all,

    Hoping someone can assist.

    I have a number of pages (about 30) that I want to print using an A4 printer in to a A6 booklet size.

    I can do it using the Booklet function to A5 but I need it printed in the smaller format.

    I found a tutorial here but it is for open office … is there a way to do the same thing in Word (Word 365 on Windows 10).

    Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

    Did you ever find out how to do this? It is pretty much what I am trying to do also but I am struggling with working out the layout of which page goes in which order...

    I print in booklet format using PDF-XChange Editor Free.

    I first save my Word files as PDF, then simply print them on A5 format on A4 printer using the Booklet function.

    But I think A6 also possible.

    In the same PDF editor, if you simply want 4 x A6 on A4, then you can use its Multiple Pages per Sheet function and print a 2 by 2 on A4 which is 4 x A6.
    You have multiple options for the positioning of the A6 pages on the A4 format, which changes their order:
    - Horizontal
    - Horizontal reversed
    - Vertical
    - Vertical reversed

    If you print to PDF using a PDF virtual printer like Microsoft Print to PDF or Bullzip PDF Printer, you can test various options before actually printing the file on paper.

    To test the positioning of the 4 x A6 pages in each of the options above, you can simply make a word file with 4 pages, each with a big number on it - 1, 2, 3, 4 - font size 250 or so.
    Save that Word file to PDF.
    Now test the 4 positioning options above and see if any of them fits your needs.
    Note: there is also a "Reverse order" check which can mix the pages.

    See attached picture for a screenshot from PDF-XChange Editor Free with the options mentioned above.
