To be honest, I have not needed to make a booklet lately, maybe for 2
years.  I have tried the printing of Tabloid [double Letter] in
Landscape with the pages in Letter/Portrait.  But I have not tried the
booklet.  The last work I did was a 4 Letter page [one Tabloid sheet]
document that I had to manually "duplex".  Needed only about a dozen
copies.  I also used "print page" option to print out the proper page
order on the sheet, like I always did with PageMaker 7.

But it is good to know that if I needed to do 2 or more sheets of
Tabloid paper, it will be easily done.

One reason I did not test it on my tabloid paper, was the price of the
paper itself.  It is hard to find it locally, so I usually have to order
it online.  I can never find the 13x19 inch paper, so it is also an
online purchase.  Shipping costs or paper can be expensive, when I
cannot get a deal on shipping from the paper [or office supply] site.  I
just received my first batch of "pastel" colored paper in Tabloid size,
so I could use that paper instead of Letter size paper with a staple or
two.  I also have a stock of photo paper in all sized from 4x6 to 13x19
inches, except 5x7 inch.  I do some photo/poster printing for people.
