Pages 2 and 3 of 4 page booklet are swapped??

I'm printing a Church bulletin. I only need to print page 2 & 3. When I
tell Pub 2007 to print just 2&3 it switches the pages. When I tell it to
print the whole booklet every other sheet is blank. I just switched from Pub
2002 so still getting used to the new program.

It sounds like you're answering "Yes" to "Print as separate booklet?"
This is a bad idea.
When I tell it to
print the whole booklet every other sheet is blank.

I'm guessing that's because you're not duplexing it. If your printer
doesn't duplex automatically, you'll have to feed through sheets
manually, or print every other side and then flip the stack and print
the remaining sides. Your printer driver may do this for you (most
recent ones do) automagically.

It does not ask me "Print as a seperate booklet". When I click on print and
choose page range and choose All Pages it prints correctly but every other
sheet is blank because pages 1 & 4 have nothing on them. If I choose Pages
and then enter 2-3 or 2,3 and click print preview 2 & 3 are swapped. What's
printed on page 2 is now on page 3 and what's printed on page 3 is now on
page 2.

I had found the answer on the Connect site. Someone had noted this as a bug.
I just installed Office sp1. Looks like this would be taken care of.
Thanks to all who helped!!!

I have SP1, it certainly did not cure the print fix. Maybe it is the difference
in printers...

I had SP1 prior to seeing this as well. Okidata 3400n color laser here.

I don't get the printer prompt warning about printing parts of a booklet
either, which is wierd because I did get it the other day while printing
some pages to proof read.

I've never had the prompt in 2007, I didn't think it was included. I'm surprised
to know you received it.

If you uncheck two page spread, go to print, print current page, it matters not
if you are viewing page 2 or 3, both pages will print where page 3 should be.

Mayhaps because this year's booklet (which I am thankfully finished with
yesterday) I did in 2007 but used 2003's booklet as a template. I remember
seeing the warning once and not again after.

Producing this year's theater program was a freekin' nightmare.
