I'm doing a 12-page booklet, 5.5" by 8.5", two pages per side of 8.5" by 11", double-sided. Converted from PM 7.0, where everything printed correctly, to InDesign 2.0.1 where everything looks good until I go to Print, go through InDesign's setup procedure, etc., then first page prints on the left side of the first sheet and I can't find the way to move it to the right side where it has to be when the pages are folded. The first page appears over the odd-numbered pages when previewing in tiled format but insists on printing on the wrong side of the page. Can Adobe Tim or anybody help? Thanks.

Getting the first page on the right side

When you printed your booklet in PM7, did you use the Booklet Plug-in?
InDesign does not have this function. I purchased the "InBooklet plug-in" for InDesign from ALAP.
It works perfectly. With it you will get your first page in the correct position.

Drbgaijin,
Yes, I used PM7's Utilities, Plug-ins, Build Booklet; in InDesign I used File, New, Book and everything looked good except for the first page. I find it strange that InDesign will not accomplish a comparable task as well as PM7 and that you have to look to a source outside Adobe for a solution.
I looked at and apparently that will do the job. Couldn't find the download price though. Can you tell me the cost, please. Thanks for the info.

I have not used the "Book" function in Indesign. But I looked at it and it seems to be a way of gathering different documents together. I think the word "Book" should not be taken too literally.
I agree that it is strange that Adobe did not include a plug-in for building booklets.
The Alap software costs 99 us.dollars. It has much more control in setting up the final booklet than PM7's Build Booklet.
I bought it online. Also I found the staff very helpful and they replied quickly to some email questions I sent them.
