Hi Tim, OpenOffice.org can produce a booklet. I wrote the following for the local primary school about four years ago, so the children could print out their stories as books. http://www.onlineconnections.com.au/public/openoffice/brochureprinting.html Keep in mind your don't need to set up columns. You just write your pages as normal and OpenOffice.org puts the pages in the correct sequence for you. (You will most likely need to adjust the font size.) I hope this helps.
