This can easily be done with the "Build Booklet" plugin in Pagemaker. Simply go into your document setup dialog, set your page size to 5.5" x 8.5" and choose (tall). Then choose facing pages and the number of pages you want. Then go back into your document and design it with the pages in order as they go. Once your document is finished and you're satisfied with it, then go into your utilities menu, click on plugins, then click on build booklet.

Once you're in the build booklet dialog, there will be window showing you all your pages. On the right of the window there is a drop down menu. Drop the options down, and then click on "2-up saddle stitch." or "2-up perfect bound", whichever type of binding you will be using. After you have done this click "ok" and you will be asked if you want to do this if you haven't saved your original document. It actually closes your original document and opens the new document in its place. Therefore, make sure you do a save just before you go into the build booklet window.

Once this is all done, your booklet will be set up so that the pages will be in the correct order for printing on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet. If you are having them cut in half, then I would choose the "2-up perfect bound" option. The printing company will then cut the pages in half and bind them for you.

This is the best thing I could come up with...and I'm not even sure that it would be the solution.

Mrs.,

Unfortunately I am in a hotel in SE LA and my software is in my office in SW LA and I won't be home until Friday evening.

So far no.

I called today and asked to talk to someone that has done this for them.

She gave me a name and number, but of course, the person is not answering their cell and they are not at home.

Latest deadline is 3 pm today!
