Booklet printing

I have a publisher document that someone else created.
When I go to print it, it puts pages 2 and 51 on the same
sheet of paper. When we go to press, this is how we want
it, but I have to print sections for proofreading, so I
need to be able to print sections at time with regular
page layout (either 1 page per sheet or pages 1&2 or 2&3
on the same sheet). How do I change this print setting? I
don't even know what to call it to look it up in the HELP
files...

Thanks!!
Melanie

In the print dialogue, input from pages 2 to 3, or 1 to 2 click yes on the query.

Try this...

Install the trial of FinePrint from www.fineprint.com
Make a note of the page dimensions under File > Page Setup > Layout. Change
the page size to custom, and the dimensions to the ones you just took a note
of.
Now go to Printer and Paper
Select FinePrint as the printer, click Properties, click Custom, and type in
the dimensions of your page.
Print your document to the FinePrint printer.
Using FinePrint Dispatcher, configure the document so it prints however many
you want on whatever page size you want.

Is there any way of chaning some parameter in the
document rather than installing a trial software? This
has to be some setting the person selected when creating
this document.

Thanks!!

The parameter selected is booklet fold.
If you don't want to use FinePrint, you can set up the document so that it
will print one page per page.

Thanks so much! I went into the print options and
selected a custom paper size rather than the booklet and
now can swtich back and forth between the two styles.
