Default Word 2007 B2TR Booklet Printing Problem under Vista RC2

I like to collect newspaper articles in Word's Bookfold layout form. Last
night I copied an article from The Wall Street Journal to a Bookfold setup
with 1/2 inch margins all around. After reducing the font size I had a 9
page document which would print with 3 blank pages at the end. It looked
fine on screen. I printed it on my HP LaserJet 1320 which has
auto-duplexing.

It didn't print well. There were 2 graphics on page 1, The Wall Street
Journal's logo and a sketch. Both of those wound up on page 12. That is,
they printed on the left margin of the physical sheet, not the logical page.

On page 2, a graphic that should have printed aligned to the right margin of
the logical page printed on the right margin of the sheet, or logical page
11.

Page 3, which had a photograph to which I had applied a drop shadow, printed
entirely on logical page 11, that is, on the left hand side of the same
sheet.

The graphic on the left margin of logical page 4 printed on the left margin
of logical page 9.

The graphic that should have printed on the right margin of logical page 5
overprinted the text on the right margin of logical page 8 (the same sheet).

The graphic that should have printed on the left margin of page 7
overprinted text on the left margin of logical page 6 (the same sheet).

The same article, put into a similar file in Word 2003 under Windows XP SP2
and printed on the same printer came out as expected.

If someone could forward this report to the Beta Testers, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
LH.
