Bard Book Mark One: Formatting and Sizing

So, after reading many how-to sites for printing folded pamphlets using Open Office, and printing several very deformed pamphlets, I discovered that my Canon printer actually has a "booklet" setting.  It takes a document - a normal portrait-oriented document on 8.5"x11" paper - and prints it out as a double-sided, folded over pamphlet.  All by itself.  No paper flipping or page counting or anything. 

It's awesome.

Apparently, I should put 4-7 pages in each quire.  Each quire will have to be its own document, but that's not a big deal.  I'll grab some papers, fold them in half, and see when it feels like it's too bulky to manage.

Then: Time to format my stuff!  That'll likely take a few days of work.
