Default Greeting Cards and Beyond

I don't know of a template for that but you could certainly do it with
Publisher.

I am trying to find out whether Microsoft Office offers any convenient way,
possibly with add-ons, to print booklets in a format that would allow 8
pages
(16 duplexed) to print on a single 8 1/2 x 11 sheet and the whole thing to
be
folded into a small booklet
with all pages appearing right-side up. If you visualize a landscape
page,
this would require that pages 6, 7, 8, and 1 appear across the top and
pages
2,3,4, and 5 appear upside down across the bottom, with page 2 beneath
page
1, 2 beneath page 8, etc.

If you have trouble visualizing this (as I did) go to pocketmod.com and
look
at the "folding instructions".

My next question would be about 16-page on a sheet duplex printing, but
that
would require that the 8-page problem be solved first anyway.

I have searched The MS Word forums and looked at add-ins such as looked at
Blue Squirrel's ClickBook, which supports 4-page "greeting-card" folds or
"French folds". Neither WOPR nor FinePrint seem to even support
"greeting-card" folds.

This is ability to move variable text smoothly into these opposing
sideways
orientations is one of the capabilities that I would look for in a
desktop-publishing program. Does Publisher do this ? With the help of an
add-in ? Is there any Microsoft product that does ?
