RE: q about Word

 I want to set up a short brochure in Word (landscape orientation, 8
1/2 x 11 paper). Each 8 1/2 x 11 sheet will end up being folded in half.
So there would be 4 'panes' per sheet, or 2 to a single side. 
  How does page numbering work with this arrangement? What I want is for
the page numbers to be centered under each pane of text (4 per sheet or
2 per side). Also, the ordering of the page numbering: Will Word do it
right?

If you have Word 2003, you can created a folded booklet with pagination,
headers, footers, etc. When creating the document, text will appear
onscreen as it would in any other document (Normal view text flow would
show pages in consecutive order, Page/Print Layout would also show page
layout in consecutive "logical" order from page 1, 2, 3, etc.). Previous
versions of Word required pages to be set up with text out of order so
that booklets would print correctly with the "panels" on the appropriate
sides (a major pain when text was revised and the text flow required
cutting and pasting into different panels; thankfully, Word 2003 is much
easier and automates text flow.  Booklets can then be printed
double-sided, landscape-oriented, "flipped on the short side" for
duplexing printers, and stapled in the middle. (InDesign allows easy
booklet-making too.)

In case you don't have Word 2003, here is the help text when searching
for "booklet":

Create a folded booklet

When you create a booklet, it's best to start with a new, blank document
so that you have better control over the placement of text, graphics,
and other elements. You can add a book fold to an existing document, but
you may have to reposition some elements once the book fold is in place.


Start a new, blank document.
 
On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then click the Margins tab. 

In the Multiple pages list, select Book fold. 

If your document is not set to landscape orientation, Microsoft Word
sets it to landscape. 

In the Inside and Outside boxes, type or select the amount of space you
want for the inside and outside margins. 

If you need even more space along the fold to accommodate binding, type
or select the amount of space you want in the Gutter box.

In the Sheets per booklet list, select the number of pages you want to
include in a single booklet. 

If the number of pages in the document exceeds the number of pages you
select for a booklet, Word prints the document as multiple booklets.

Select any other options you want in the Page Setup dialog box. 

Add text, graphics, headers or footers, and other elements to your
document as usual.
