This may be a really silly question but how do I create an A5 sized booklet
(after folding a A4 sheet of paper in half)? The only thing I have seen in
folding A4 in half but in the portrait view and not the landscape view.

What version Publisher?
In 2002 or 03, file, page setup, booklet.
In earlier versions, special fold, booklet, landscape.
In all versions, setup your printer first to A4.

Looking in Help brought this:
To create a folded booklet with 8.5-by-11-inch pages. Your printer must
support printing on 11-by-17-inch paper, also called tabloid paper, for the
procedure to work.

1.. Open the publication you want to print as a folded booklet.
2.. On the File menu, click Page Setup.
3.. Click the Layout tab.
4.. Under Publication type, click Booklet.
5.. Under Page size, type 8.5 in the Width box and 11 in the Height box.
6.. Click the Printer & Paper tab.
7.. Under Printer, select a printer that can print on 11-17 or tabloid
paper.
8.. Under Paper, select the 11-by-17- inch or tabloid paper option, and
then click OK.
9.. When you are prompted to automatically insert pages, click Yes.
Publisher will insert pages so that the total number is a multiple of 4.
10.. On the File menu, click Print.
11.. In the Print dialog box, click Change page order, click Print as
book, and then click OK.
12.. Select any other options you want, and then click OK to print the
publication.
Microsoft Publisher prints the first and last pages on one sheet of paper,
the second and next-to-last on another sheet, and so on, as shown in the
following picture. When you photocopy the pages back to back and then staple
or bind them together, they will be in the right order.
