Default page errors in booklets

You're the first person I know who's been brave enough to try to use Word's
book fold feature to print signatures. Now you see why commercial printers
don't use Word as imposition software. Seriously, the book fold feature is
seriously flawed.

Hi Word Gurus,
I'm using Word 2002 to print a booklet, 4 pages per booklet. This is a
400-page manuscript I will bind into a book.
Pages 1 and 4 appear on the first sheet, 2 and 4 on the back, 5 and 8 on
sheet 2, 6 and 7 and sheet 2 back, etc. I successfully did this, but Word
often got confused about the pages. For example, when I printed pages
289-296, I wanted

Sheet Front Back

1 292,289 290, 291
2 296,293 294, 295


Instead I got:

Sheet Front Back

1 292,289 76, 291
2 4,43 37, 295

Anybody else have this trouble? Is there a fix?
