Creating a booklet

[Marj]

I am trying to do an Order of Worship using Publisher 2000 for our church. I
would like to be able to type the pages in their correct order so that when
we are ready to print, they will be exactly as they should be. I tried this
as a test in Publisher and it doesn't seem to be working. I will end up with
an 8-page document contaning a cover (picture) page on the first page and a
preprinted page on page 8. In other words, I will have 3 actual typed pages
and two pre-printed ones. I expected Publisher to know that the opposite of
page 2 would be page 7, but it didn't do that, it came out page 3. Can anyone
set me straight on how to do this?

This depends how you set your document up.

You need to go to File > Page Setup > (Special Fold >) Book Fold.

This should then automatically position your pages on the paper when you go
to print

Are you setting up the page as a booklet? This does not happen in Publisher if your
publication is setup as a booklet.
File, page setup, special fold...landscape. If you are using legal or tabloid size
paper you will have to setup your printer before you create your document.

But in Help it leads me to believe I can do this. As it is now,
p2 is opposite p3.

You CAN do this. Publisher can and will do this automatically.
Pages 2 and 3 will appear next to each other on screen, but will print in
the correct positions.

Can you ZIP your document and email it to the UNDERSCORE nerd AT mvps DOT
org, so I can check the setup?
Thanks.
