Ack! ACK! ACK!!!

For anyone who might care, Microsoft Publisher will work for what I want: 
It will arrange the printed sheets so when you fold them in half you will get the proper order with page 1, 2, 3, 4 rather than 2, 3, 4, 1 automagically.

OK, fine.

I can take my 400 page book and double side print on 100 physical sheets, fold each one, and glue them together at the spine to bind them for the prototype copies.

The problem is when I import my Microsoft Word document into Microsoft Publisher which was already set for two pages per side on physical sheets.

Seamless integration?! Not!

The pages didn't fit right, all the headings and footings disappeared, and the last half of the book is inexplicably just GONE!

The good news is that it does recognize the generated table of contents.

Now I can go through and figure out the headings and footings and cut and paste the entire document page by page and I will do it because it will work well in the end and I don't have a problem doing work intensive things.

The problem I have is the phrase "Seamless integration"; it's more like "Unseemly integration".

Maybe some of you know a better way, and your help is appreciated (and it has been most excellent thus far), but my main goal is to let anyone who wants to do the same thing later have full disclosure if it will help.
