Default book with columns

For this application only (not for booklet printing generally), see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/Print2Pages.htm

A much better solution for Word 2000 and above is to use "2 pages per sheet"
in the Page Setup dialog (not the one in the Print dialog) instead of
columns. Then you can add page numbers just as you normally would because
Word treats each half of each physical page as a logical page. Since you
already have your text formatted into columns, you should not experience
much change in layout if you enable "2 pages per sheet" (it's in the
"Multiple pages" dropdown on the Margins tab of Page Setup) and format the
content back to a single column.

...
I am using word 2003. I have created a book and it has over 50 pages in it.
I
have used landscape and have made them into columns. I want to number each
page (two per page because of columns) and then I want to print so that I
then fold each page and then use a bookbinding machine which will glue
each
page at the fold.

I'm not even sure where to start - please help
