>I have a database that I would like to create booklets with. The booklet would be printed duplex, landscape on 8.5 x 11 with 2 columns of data then foleded in half to creat the booklet. The booklets will have a varible number of pages, so the program will need to create logical pages printed in a logical sequence.

You might be able to save yourself a lot of work and export the data to a program that can make booklets. There are a few programs at www.download.com. There must be booklet add-ins for MS Word.

Just a thought...
