My initial inclination was to go with a word processing program, but I went with Pagemaker when I decided to
do Capclave's program in booklet format. PageMaker has a function that renumbers pages so that they fit the
fold-over format of a booklet (that is, page 6 and 7 in the booklet don't print out on the same page, it's
actually page 6 and page 46, 7 and 45, and so on).
