How print a booklet?

I use Publisher 97. I need to print a 90 page booklet:
Two pages to a sheet, both sides, the final stack to be
center stapled and folded.

Is there a downloadable template to do the pagination and
page location (eg pages 2 and 89 should print next to
each other first, and the last page to be printed on the
backside would be 1 and 90)?

(Is this example wrong? I need a program.)

Or is there a separate program that can do it? There used
to be one accessed as a printer driver but I cannot find
it on the web now, nor recall its name.

Assuming '97 works pretty much the same as 2000.

File
Page setup
Special Fold
Landscape

Add pages in groups of 4,

Publisher does this automatically. If you have a duplex printer it would be a breeze.
Open the help in Publisher, it will walk you through the printing process when you
haven't a duplex printer.

Thank you for your responses. The help file says it
paginates correctly, and a test shows that it probably
does, but prints on one side of the sheet and the help
file makes no mention of turning the stack over. It says
the pages must be copied to create doublesided sheets.

Do you know if it will pause after printing half the
sheets to allow turning the stack over and sending it
through again?

The name of the program I was trying to remember was
Clickbook. Google gets it. It prints the front side of
each sheet and then prompts me to put the stack through
the printer the other way to print the back sides. I may
try the fifty dollar new version 7, but I'll experiment
with Publisher 97 first.

It will not.
However, FinePrint 2000 (www.fineprint.com) will add this functionality to
Publisher.

I have Publisher98 and have done a number of booklets like this.  I print to
an HP722C which does have duplex printing and does stop and prompt me to
reinsert the printed sheets to do the other side.

I know some HP printers do this automatically, but FinePrint 2000 adds this
functionality to any combination of printer/software available.

In addition to the other responses, you will need to have either 88 or 92
pages, as the page count must be divisible by 4.

You might check your printer "properties" - all the tabs. I don't have a true
duplex printer, but from WIN XP, Publisher 2000 (and I think 97 also did it),
when I checked "two sided" under the printer, the printer took over the 'print
one side, stop, tell user to turn' function. You might check that out.
