Default How can i set up a calendar-folded book?

Check to see if this option is supported directly by your printer. Choose
File - Print - Properties. There often is a page setup tab, and an option
for Page Layout. Peruse the different options to see if one of them gives
you what you want.

Dear Friends,

I have a book of 300 pages (created in Word) that i want to set up like a
calendar, with the fold at the top (or bottom) of the page. I want to
print
the book on 8 1/2 x 11 paper with the pages two up. The folding dummy i
made
indicates that the left-hand page of this two-up set would be an
even-numbered page, and would be upside-down, while the right-hand page
would
be right-side-up and odd-numbered. This is also true for the other side of
the sheet of paper. When done, i would ideally have a stack of 75 sheets
with
four pages each on them (printed front and back). Cutting the sheets in
half
on the center-line would then ideally let me stack the two halves, then
bind
them at the top edge...

Help!

Is there a technique or a template or something else that would let me do
this?
The only way i could see to accomplish this calendar-fold thing is to
create
two documents, one for even-numbered pages and the other for odd-numbered
pages (with blank pages in each document so they would mesh) then go for 4
separate passes through my printer...

Yarg.

I would be utterly grateful for any assistance you might offer in this
matter.

Yours in Hope,

Post: re-flowing the text or converting it to a Publisher document won't
work for me because of the way the pages are composed (justified
vertically,
adjusted line spacing, etcetera)...
