Default Booklet Printing from Word 2007 Document

Have you tried the "Book fold" feature that is built into Word? On the
Margins tab of Page Setup, choose "Book fold" for "Multiple pages." Word
will set up your document with two pages per sheet. You will create the
pages in ordinary numerical order, but Word will print them in the order
required for folding into a booklet.

This feature works reasonably well provided you are printing the entire
booklet. Most users report disappointing results trying to reprint specific
pages. For another approach, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...etPrinting.htm. This method will
work in any version.

You can also set this up manually using "2 pages per sheet" in the "Multiple
pages" dropdown. This will create pages in numerical order, and you can
print them in the required order by entering 8, 1, 2, 7, 6, 3, 4, 5 in the
"Pages" box in the Print dialog. There is also a macro at the
above-referenced site that automates this process.

I have a number of documents I have in Word 2007. I would like to
print these in booklet form.

For example:
An 8 page word document
The booklet would be printed in landscape mode
The 1st sheet would have page 1 & 8 on one side and page 2 & 7 on the
other. The 2nd sheet would have page 3 & 6 on one side and page 4 & 5
on the other.

I am looking for an addin to enable Word 2007 to print in this manner.
Alternatively (2nd choice), I would like a separate application that
would do this.

Can anyone offer any ideas?
