Default print 8 page 8 1/2 x 11 booklet 1/2 size?

I have an 8 page booklet that I originally intended to print 8 1/2 x 11 & set
it up that way. I now would like to print it, instead as 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. I
know the proportions will not be perfect but they will be good enough.
I have played with this for hours to no avail.
I can't get the pages to come out right. i.e. 1&8 on one side of a sheet and
2 & 7 on the other etc.
Help!

Have you tried setting up two publications; your original and a new publication?
Copy/paste each page and adjust. Using the AutoFit Options in the Format menu
would help.

somethng in Publisher.

Additional info:
The printer I use has a booklet setting by the manufacturer. I can change
the original size to 5½x8½W and the paper size to 8½x11. You will have to
read your printer manual to see what you can/can't do.
