SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Word, when you print a document as a booklet, if you set the Sheets per booklet setting in the Page Setup dialog box to a greater number of pages than the document contains (with the intent of adding blank pages to the end of the document), the blank pages are not printed when you print the booklet.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs if the Book fold option is selected in the Multiple pages list in the Page Setup dialog box: Word prints only those pages that contain information.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, insert page breaks at the end of the document. To insert page breaks, follow these steps:
 * 1) In Word 2003 or Word 2002, put the pointer at the end of the document.
 * 2) On the Insert menu, click Break.
 * 3) In the Break dialog box, make sure that Page break is selected, and then click OK.
 * 4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 to add more blank pages.
 * 5) On the File menu, click Print.


 * 1) In Word 2007, put the pointer at the end of the document.
 * 2) Click the Insert tab.
 * 3) In the Pages group, click Page Break.
 * 4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 to add more blank pages.
 * 5) Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Print.

Notice that additional blank pages are printed at the end of the document.
