- I should point out that two columns per page is fine. However, if you want
- to photocopy the result and fold it into a booklet, you will find that
- page combinations like 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 won't be where you want them.

- Also if you put two columns per page to simulate two pages per sheet, you
- will have problems with page numbering.
-
- What I did when confronted with this problem was to use PageStream's
- text routing to flow the text through the maze of pages that would
- print properly. I then numbered the pages manually.
-
- The alternative is to print only 1 per page and then colate and photocopy.
