how can I create a book with word 2000

I want to write a story for my grandsons using word and use landscape setting
and have it continue over to the other half of the page so I can then fold in
half and staple together.

You can either use text boxes to set up your layout, or I
believe you can select a template which has that layout
you want. With Text boxes, you can connect the boxes to
have the text flow from one to another and you can set
them onto the page any way you desire.

Not recommended. Word allows only 32 linked text boxes, and even that many
will make a totally unmanageable document.

Word has the facility for booklet printing but, and sorry if sounds like a
heresy hereabouts, I'd suggest that you look at a dtp package such as
Publisher if you're going to do much of what sounds like an excellent
project. I'm sure you'll both get a lot out of it, whatever software you
use - and a dtp package may help you come out the other end just a little
less stressed.

Word 2000 does *not* have a booklet-printing feature, which is why the
reference to http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/BookletPrinting.htm.
Publisher is certainly easier, but the OP did ask about Word.

My apologies if I caused confusion - I appreciate that Word 2000 has no
booklet-printing feature; however, my saying that Word "has the facility for
printing a booklet" (as per the link above) may have given the impression
that there was a specific feature. Thanks for clarifying my imprecision...

....and I did acknowledge the heretical nature of my dtp comment :)
