Printing booklet

I am producing a 50 to 60 page booklet using Pubisher
2003. The page format will be using 8.5 x 11 paper
folded in half. I need to print both sides of the
paper. How do I print the booklet so that I print half
the project on one side of the paper and the other half
on the back. Will publisher keep track of the pages so
that for example; that page 2 and page 50 print on the
same side/sheet of paper so when all pages are printed,
folded and bound the book reads correctly.
Thanks

more info...I am using a single side printer so I have to
run the pages through twice to print both sides of the
paper. JS

You will either need to manually turn the paper over as it comes out of the
printer, or you will need to activate some kind of duplexing feature in your
printer driver.
If you have no manual duplex features in your printer driver, then you will
need to use an intermediary driver such as FinePrint from www.fineprint.com.
Failing that, you could create a PDF file and use the manual duplex features
in Adobe Reader.
A free PDF creator is available at www.pdf995.com

I have a question for you. I've seen many people post the same question and
I always wonder - how many of these booklets are you printing? If you are
only doing one and then taking it to the printers, why go thru all of that?
I've always been curious about this.

It is a project my wife is working on for a family reunion. We are going to print about 75 copies. I may end up taking the print job to the local kinkos to printed. I just wanted to make that it is possible to create the project and be able to tell the printer to print the pages in the proper sequence. I know that I will have to the run the paper throgh twice if I print it myself(I am not looking forward to printing it myself, but you know, anything for the spouse). I hoping to be able to have someone else print the project depending on the cost.

When you print a booklet take care in how the sheets of paper are stacked to
ensure they result in sequential order.

If you plan to staple the booklets, you will need a "long arm" stapler.

Note to JoAnne: I publish less than 6 booklets (many copies) but they get
updated often.

Yes, and I listed the options for you

If you give the document to Kinkos, they will use their automatic machinery
to do it for you.

Check out the links at http://office.microsoft.com/ for links to a place
where you can find internet-based and local printers who accept Microsoft
Publisher files.

I can see if you only a few copies (definitely under 10 copies) but anything
more than that, get them printed. It's so much easier.

As for making sure your printer can get them in the right order, I'm
assuming your pages are numbered. If the printer can't figure that much out,
time to find a new printer. (I know, I'm harsh, but that's their job.)

I wouldn't be so sure.
If you turned off copy collation, then you could just provide X sheets of
paper, select File Print X copies, and go off and do something while
printed page 1, then turn stack over, and add another X sheets underneath
the stack, tell printer to continue, repeat until done.
The only tedious bit is then collating all the copies, but it's not
difficult.
The only technically difficult bit is finding a long-armed stapler.

I guess I see things a tad bit differently because I do most of my printing
for the organization. If I'm doing things for my local chapter, I hand them
the bill. If it's for the region, they get the bill.

I do so little for myself that the little bit of printing I do doesn't make
a difference. ALTHOUGH I did just print off some business cards. I'm
donating a crystal bracelet I made to be auctioned off. I'm hoping that I
can pick up a few commissioned works from them. Keep your fingers crossed
for me. (I can't cross my own - I'd never be able to make the bracelets if I
do.)
