I used to work for an accounting firm (though in their computer consulting division), and one thing we did was “work papers”, where we’d punch a hole in the upper left corner of every page we needed to store for posterity, then thread them all onto a brass fastener like these.
The punch would put the hole at a diagonal, like this:

A paper stapled on a diagonal, the way most people would do by default, would have interfered with that. So we all learned to do it at the upper left edge, “vertical”. So the paper would look like this:
| \

To this day, when I manually staple something, I staple it like that :D. Of course, when stapling something that’s going to be flipped like the handout, the diagonal works slightly better:
Only one copy, and that for personal use? Easy. Take a three-hole punch to the nine pages, and put them in a folder with the bendy clips. Take an X-Acto knife to the title sheet, cut the title out, and glue or tape the title to the front cover (in portrait orientation, of course).
I can’t believe this thread keeps popping back up. Hell, I’ve been retired 7 months now.
I actually like Tabby_Cat’s solution the best, when it’s only one copy for myself. If multiples were required for distribution, that would be different.
I would staple the portrait pages upper left, staple the landscape pages (if more than one) at their upper left, then paperclip then at the lower left of the portrait sheets.:smack:
