So I have a long document; page size 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 or half an 8-1/2 x 11
sheet.

Is it possible to print, front and back, and assemble the book in the
correct order?

If my brain is working properly, sheet #1 would have a blank on the left
side, the cover on the right side. Turning that sheet over, you would see
the second page on the back of that cover, and the last page to its right,
and so on ... I think.

Is there a print setting to make this happen? The hang up is getting the
last pages to print in proper order on the back of certain pages that
comprise the first half of the doc.

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...etPrinting.htm.

If your book is longer than 32 pages, it's a good idea to print it as groups
(called "signatures" in the printing trade) of no more than 32 pages each --
that is, eight sheets -- so the fold doesn't get too thick.
