Are you setting up your page as a booklet? If you select booklet in page setup,
the pages will print in the correct order. What problems are you having? There
is a specific process to print booklets to get it correct if you do not have a
duplex unit.
Do you have a duplex unit?

Hi. Yes, it is in booklet mode. I am printing to a unit that can print duplex
automatically. Basically, it does not print the pages in the right order. For
example,
I have found the following relationship and used it to build the pages but
it still comes out not in order.

Why are you changing the *relationship*? If you have used File, page setup,
booklet the pages will be in the correct order without any more input from you
except the amount of pages to be inserted. Look at the print preview screen,
there is an icon you can click to see more than one page at a time. The pages
should line up 40-1, 2-39, 38-3, 4-37, 36-5, 6-35 and so on.

Have you ever printed this booklet?

Download a PDF converter and print to it to see if you are getting the correct
setup. This will save you paper. There are many free converters around.

Hi
Mary. I have converted to pdf via openoffice writer but to no avail. Yes,
I have printed it but same result. I will again use file-> page setup again.
When I did the print preview, I right click and can select edit page #, will
this help also with putting the contents in the right spot? Thanks for your
help!

Do you have page tabs at the bottom of your screen? If not, View, status bar.

No, editing from the preview will not be helpful in any meaningful way. When you
have a two -page spread on your screen, what do you see? Is page 2 next to page
3?
