Janet, What I do when I want to print such a booklet is I print the document out on 8.5 x 11 as a regular document and then I bring it to the copy place and they do their magic. What I do is I organize the big document to look like the small document would look. I don't think I am expressing myself properly but, trust me, it's a very easy process.

I'd agree 100% with Ken on this. You can get the printing done at almost any of the big office supply chains or printing shops. It's not a big deal for them and they usually can do it within 24 hours or so. The other advantage is you can use your original photos as masters if you lightly stick them to a page. With the modern photocopiers you can have them shrunk down to any size and have them printed in full colour or black and white. Plus the shops can do custom binding as well and make your book look like it came from major printing house. Our you can just have it look like a ordinary handout pamphlet if that's all you need. Just make your 8 1/2 x 11 pages look the best you can and they will do the rest. I'd also suggest numbering each page either on the front or lightly on the back so that they don't get mixed up when they are printed and bound. I'm also sure they would prefer that you print only on one side of the original pages that way the ink will not show through on the other side when they are photocopied. If you really want to go cheap you can set your word processor program to "Landscape Mode" and print your pages in "double columns" then just make quick trip to the "do it yourself" photocopier.
