Default Create odd/even backgrounds for book fold?

This is my first time using a book fold to create a booklet.
I would think that there is some way to set different backgrounds for even
and odd pages...

Can anyone tell me how to do that?

Thanks.

If you are referring to background colors, those are for the whole document
(primarily intended for HTML files). On the other hand, if you are saying
that you want pictures in the background, here's how to do that: First
enable the "Different odd and even" option in File | Page Setup; that way,
you get separate headers (and footers) for odd and even pages. Then you can
anchor a picture to the even header, and a different picture to the odd
header. For more on headers and footers in Word, see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm.
