I have the document set to bookfold, landscape, letter size paper and the 
Brother printer properties set to bookfold and the document prints 4 small 
pages on the face of one actual page.  What setting is wrong?  I have tried 
setting the printer to normal, duplex and bookfold with no different results.

Well, you can print a booklet from Word or from your printer, but you should 
not be doubling up on the settings. Word's "Book fold" setting is designed 
to print a booklet using the normal, everyday, default printer settings. You 
would have to consult your printer documentation to know what the printer's 
booklet setting does, but it should NOT be used in conjunction with Word's 
booklet feature.

I set the printer to normal on all settings and the document printed normal 
portrait even though word 2007 setting was on landscape

The doc is printing in book fold with your info. thank you...  One last 
problem, it is printing in a much smaller font than the doc is set in.

Did you select "Book fold" in Word's Page Setup? You should be getting two 
portrait pages on one landscape sheet.

It should not be changing the font size if you're actually using "Book 
fold." If you use the "2 pages per sheet" setting in Word's Print dialog, 
then the pages are reduced. The same will probably be true if you use your 
printer's booklet feature to make a booklet from a Letter/A4 document. Same 
for Adobe Reader's booklet feature for PDFs.

As I pointed out  in a previous reply, this should NOT be happening if 
you're actually using "Book fold."
