What are you doing with the output -- if you are going to staple it
in house, I would suggest that you do the layout without rotating the
pages, print alternate pages, flip the paper and run through the
printer to print the other sides. If you are going to send the pages
for out for printing, I would just send the layout to the printer,
let them output and paste them up -- they really should not charge
you too much more
Sometimes you need to break down and go out to the garage and get the
hammer rather than using your shoe. There is page layout software
for doing and managing the kind layout you want to do.
Good luck

Hi,
I am trying to create a little booklet of, say, 16 pages, which I
will fold and staple after it is printed. As you know, to set this
up means you have to make page 1, then page 16, then page 3, then
page 14, etc... Then flip the whole printed pile over and do the
same thing. It seems there is no way to easily make a booklet in
either Draw or Writer. I have downloaded ClickBook, but that will
expire soon. It would be great if you could work in a function
that would automatically number your pages based on how long you
want the booklet to be.
That being suggested, the other way this can be done in MS
Publisher is to create a text box on the first page and use
autoflow to link to the next "appropriate" page and then keep doing
this until you've got the whole thing laid out. God help you if
you want to add more pages after you've laid it out. In the help
index of Writer, it says there is a feature similar to Autoflow
which will allow you to link text frames, but I can't seem to get
it to work. I've met all the conditions which are listed in the
help. Do you have any ideas? Thanks for your time.
