Default Page numbering

The easiest way is just to prepare your booklet on Letter Size Paper and
then, using the Zoom section of the File Print dialog, have it print so that
there are two page of text per sheet of paper.

Alternatively, on the left side of the page use the following field
construction

{ = 2 * { Page } - 1 }

and on the right hand side of the page use

{ = 2 * { Page } }

You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters { } and you use
Alt+F9 to toggle off their display.

If you have a table of contents in your booklet, you should use the first
method.

I am making booklets 4.25 x 5.5, I'm using the 8.5 x 11 page and cutting it
in half to make 2/booklets. I can't figure out how to get page numbers on
correctly because each page has to be numbered twice (2/page #1, 2/page #2
etc...) Can this be done?
