Binding Options

Before printing in two-sided mode, decide how you want your finished document bound: stapled (stitches), in three-hole binders, glued, or by some other means. The binding setup options are:

Book (long-edge) binding, which is the conventional layout used in book binding (see A in Figure 5-6 below).

Tablet (short-edge) binding, which is the type often used with calendars (see B in Figure 5-6 below).
