How would I set up print options for a school yearbook?

[krazimom]

I am having a heck of time trying to print our elementary school's yearbook.
I have thirty pages and want to print it so that it staples in the middle and
reads like a regular book. Sometimes I get 8 pages printed on one sheet of
paper (4 on front and 4 on back) sometimes I get just one page on each side.
I am on a deadline and am running out of time, HELP!

It sounds like your printer settings and Publisher settings are conflicting.
Check the settings in File > Page Setup > Printer and Paper > Properties (it
should be one page per side, and duplex if available. In File > Page Setup

Layout, the options should be set to Booklet.

You should be aware that pages MUST be inserted in multiples of four,
otherwise the centre pages of the publication will be blank. You can insert
blank pages to make up the numbers and position them yourself (e.g. at the
end of the publication).

First of all Publisher works in units of four. Setup your booklet for either 28
or 32 pages. What size is the paper? If it is not letter size you must setup
your printer first.
Are you using the booklet option in page setup?
Do you have a duplex printer or are you manually turning the pages over?
