[comp.text.tex] Booklet Style?

msh@math.canterbury.ac.nz (Mark Hickman) (05/15/91)

Hi

Does anyone know of a booklet style macro/utility program that allows a La/Tex
file to be printed in a booklet form; that is, in landscape with .7 
magnification and the pages rearranged in the form

      "Sheet 1"                  4^n  1
      "Sheet 2"                  2    4^n-1 etc

For example a 4 page document would be printed with page 4 and page 1 on the 
first sheet and page 2 and page 3 would be printed on the second sheet.

Thanks

Speaking about coincidence ...

This is exactly what quire.tex does. See the posting about ``Midnight Macros.''
