For this I would be inclined to use two separate files. Look at the article
Jay pointed you to
(
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/BookletPrinting.htm) to get the idea
of printing two pages to a sheet. Then, instead of setting up a single file
with pages alternating sides, use two files one with the English on the left
and another with the foreign language on the right. If you want the page
numbers to be continous, you'll need to use calculated page fields.
For the English (even) pages, use:
{ = { PAGE } * 2 }
For the other (odd) pages, use:
{ = { PAGE } * 2 - 1 }
Print the odd pages from one file as instructed in the article, then the
even pages, in reverse order, from the other file, *on the same sheet*.
The above instructions will allow the English and other pages to flow
continuously. If the content on the facing pages is discrete (and doesn't
need to flow from page 1 to page 3 or 2 to 4), then just use the
instructions as is and put everything in a single file.

Well to begin I am not sure how to ask this question. I am creating a
program and have the page with two colums english translation on the left
and foreign language on the right so when I print it come out like a book.
But what I didn't think of if is when I actually printed it doen't flow
correctly. "PAGE 1" and "page 2" are acutally seperated by page x, y, z.
etc.... does that make sense? How do I get the pages to layout in the
correct sequense so when I acutally go to staple and fold it reads
correctly... thanks Please email me. Thanks!
