Margins for a half-fold booklet of plain text?

[Edith Short]

What margins should I set for a booklet (probably half-fold)? The document
is now a 10-page Word thing. The pages (at the moment) are standard letter
size, that is, 8 1/2" x 11." Page 1 is the title (3 words). Page 2 is a
poem (needing wide margins). Page 10 is also a poem. The rest is just
normal text. Any suggestions for margins and general setup? Thank you for
your help! Edith Short

Thank you very much, Bob! That is a helpful article. Now I have another
question but I'll have to post it in the usual way, I suppose. I want to
number the pages in the booklet but I don't want numbers on the title page.
Should I set up the title page as a separate document? If so, how? I want
the page after the title page to be number 1. The instructions for inserting
page numbers are clear.
