I must have been sleeping when this thread went by. I use
ClickBook (actually, what I have is Make-A-Booklet, which is
PaperDirect's custom version of ClickBook...same thing).
It's wonderful, magic software. It will convert your pages into
any size book, retain all fonts and graphics (appropriately
shrinking or enlarging as necessary for the new format), and
even walks you through the procedure for printing on both sides
of the paper if your printer doesn't support duplex printing.

I found just one problem with it--it does not support OLE. If
you've acquired an image in your document via OLE, Clickbook
will bomb in the middle of the print job every time it
encounters the OLE object. This was an easy work around for me
(*after* I finally figured it out). If "OLE" doesn't mean
anything to you, then you probably won't ever encounter the
problem.

The problem may have been fixed in a later version of the
software. In any case, it's great software--even *with* this
little glitch.
