Your instructor gave you this problem to make you think. A booklet as you describe is not nearly as practical as it sounds and it gets less practical as the number of pages increases. To satisfy your instructor you need to make a query that does the sorting for you. It isn't very difficult, but it does require thought. On the off hand chance you really need/want this thing: From Bob Howard: "finally decided to use a software product called FinePrint (www.fineprint.com) which acts as a Postscript printer. I give it the appropriate settings to configure the result as a booklet, and it takes care of the whole thing." (snip) about $50.00 Just a wizard prodder Chuck -- |

Thank you all for your help. It is a curious problem. I am trying some of
your proposals. The project was not for a class but for a small directory for our church members. Thanks again. -- Ritchie "Chuck" wrote: On Fri, 6 Jan 2006 19:47:01 -0800, "RITCHIE" wrote: Relative newcomer looking for some help.
