I am using Publisher 2003 and want to print out the pages of a 'booklet' to
correct as proofs, but print them as I see them appear on the screen; and NOT
as Publisher keeps printing them in the actual booklet page order which is
different. Please help. ( Printing off the whole monitor screen is no good
for me.)

Open a new instance of Publisher, setup a new letter size page as landscape,
copy/paste.

I have found the following freebie to be quite
useful for acquiring quick screen shots.

I have it set so all I have to do is:

1) Press...Print Screen...
2) Drag a box around the content I wish to save...
3) Press enter...
The screen shot is immediately saved as a .jpg
in a folder of my choice.

Then you could simply open the screenshot
in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer and print it.

I'm betting you already know this but
just in case....

When you go to...Print...you can choose
any single page or series of pages by
simply changing the "Pages" field.

If you want pages 4 and 5 for example...
just enter...from: 4 to: 5...

That doesn't work with a booklet if it is more than four pages. If you have, say, a
36 page booklet, page 24 is attached to page 13. You can print side by side if you
say "yes" but the pages will be opposite of what is on the screen.

Couldn't the OP just copy/rename the file and then change the page setup to
letter from booklet? That would eliminate the pagination.

You could do that, but what happens you have 36 pages instead of 9 or whatever the
page count is divided by four. I would personally do it that way, especially for
proofing, you have all that lovely space for written comments. Snagit is good too, or
print screen.
