How 'bout I send it to you and you can try. I'm serious getting nutty
over
this. I can follow directions, but either way (normal or duplex) the
booklet
does not fold and read from start to finish.

That's by design. Say you have an eight-page booklet. Word will print the
pages as follows:

8 and 1
2 and 7
6 and 3
4 and 5

It may print 8/1 and 6/3 first and wait for you to turn the paper over
and
print the other side (manual duplex), or (if you have an automatic
duplexer)
it may print all the recto and verso pages automatically without help
from
you.

When you stack up all the pages together correctly and fold them in the
center, they will be in the correct order for a booklet.

I've inputted 70 names into the booklet format of Word for a directory,
but
when I print, it doesn't line up correctly. The "B"s start the list,
then
it
prints and "S" page. And so on...I've tried duplexing and have the same
unusual occurence of miscellaneous pages in no particular order. Not
sure
where to go from here...
