Default Booklet printing in word?

I've read many postings and the MVPS article by Susan. I have no problem
creating booklets for my own documents. However, I wish to print "other
people's documents" in booklet form without destroying their formatting. I
wish to save paper, and I carry a Franklin Covey planner that uses the 5.5 x
8.5" page size, which is perfectly-suited for booklets. Having many
documents emailed to me daily, I would like to print these in booklet form,
put them in the planner, and read later.

When I choose scaling at "2-sheets per page", and use my printer's duplex
feature on the "short edge", it comes very very close to what I wish to
accomplish. However, it prints pages 1 and 2 on one side, and 3 and 4 on the
other side -- as opposed to 4 and 1, 2 and 3, which is required to work
properly once folded. If you cut and hole-punch, it gets worse, as there is
no way to arrange them properly.

Any help is appreciated
