problem with page numbering and printing

[thedarkman]

I've got a fifty page pamphlet ready for printing but the printer
wants it in the following format:
page 52 page1
page 51 page 2
page 50 page 3
page 49 page 4
and so on
first problem, how can I renumber the pages; I don't mind doing them
individually but can find no feature for that, unlike with good old
WordStar.
second, how can I move the pages around ie page 49 to the 4th page.
Any help gratefully received

You don't say what version of Word you have, but if it is Word 2002 (Office
XP) or later, you can use Word's "Book fold" feature to output the pages in
the correct order (which would actually be 52/1, 2/51, 50/3, 4/49, and so
on). If you have the ability to create a PDF (which you can do in Word 2007
with the Save as PDF add-in that is a free download from MS), then it is
best to output in this format (unless your printer is the old-fashioned type
who works from hard copy).

If you have a version earlier than 2002, see
